Gaia Squarci is a photographer and videographer who divides her time between Milan and New York City, where she teaches Digital Storytelling at ICP. Gaia is an IWMF fellow and a National Geographic grantee, as well as a contributor for Prospekt. With a background in Art History and Photojournalism, she leans towards a personal approach that distances itself from the descriptive narrative tradition in documentary photography and video. Her work focuses on themes linked to the relationship between human beings and the environment, domestic violence, and family relationships.
Combining scientific research and personal stories, The Cooling Solution investigates how people from different socioeconomic backgrounds around the world adapt to rising temperatures and humidity, in the context of climate change.
