Anaïs López is a documentary photographer, based in Amsterdam. She graduated from the Royal Art Academy in The Hague in 2006 and did a two year Masters (2008-2010) at Sint Joost Academy in Breda about narrative structures and documentary strategies. Besides working for magazines, she makes photo documentaries about things that matter to her.
In her work, she investigates how people live in the city, fascinated by how people try to find (or make) a place in an urban society. The main question she asks herself in her work is whether people make the city or the city makes the people.
The past two years photographer Anaïs López and writer Eva Smallegange worked on this project and eventually succeeded in making a new book about Burundi: a book with a positive outlook, containing personal stories of Koky, their guide and the main narrator.
Learn MoreOnly in Burundi is a collaborative project by photographer Anais Lopez and writer Eva Smallegange. Lopez will talk about the story behind the project Only in Burundi and her voyage to discover Burundi trough all the layers of its society. She will elaborate on how this project came to be and discuss how artists can get projects published as an artist in these trying times.
