About Carolina Arantes

Identity issues have always been an important question in her personal and professional life. Having moved houses so many times, she never felt she belonged somewhere. The fact of coming from a country where traditions are fragile and developed on a melting pot of mixed origins intrigues her about how colonial history is still present in democracies today. These issues are always surrounding her work and Stories.

Carolina received the Jean-Luc Lagardère Grant in 2015, the Firecracker for Female Photographers in 2017, and recently the National Geographic Explorer (2020). She is part of the international group Women Photograph.

Invited artist by Centre Pompidou in 2021 for a Conference and Masterclass inside the yearly educational program of the Museum "Elles Font L'Art".

She has worked for media and publications such as Stern, Le Figaro Magazine L'OBS, The Guardian, Le Monde, The New York Times, LENS Blog, among others.

Among her commercial clients, she has worked for AirBnB, La ZEP, Kronenbourg, Renault, FCA, PUIG, LATAM, among others.

She works internationally - mainly between Europe and South America - covering personal projects, corporate and press as well.
