I am a filmmaker, journalist and photographer living and working in La Paz, Bolivia. I have been working throughout this country since 2008, and in January 2014 made it my permanent home. I work largely in marginalized communities, with a focus on rural issues. In the past, I was the Editor-In-Chief of Bolivian Express, a monthly magazine and Bolivia’s largest English language publication. I have worked all over the world as a videographer and filmmaker, sharing stories on a wide spectrum of topics, from the lives of refugee camp residents in Kenya to families caring for autistic children in Northern Ireland. In January 2016 I presented via video call to Storyhunter's first San Francisco ScreenUp event, discussing my work and presenting a video I produced and shot that remains AJ+ Español's most viral video, currently with more than 18m Facebook views.

Sara Aliaga Ticona, Bolivian social communicator, photojournalist and Aymara visual artist. As a photographer and storyteller I conceive photography as a social instrument of identity reconquest, where the transversal axes of my visual research converge around gender and identity, human rights, the climate crisis and the special impact it has on indigenous peoples. My work is built around symbolic, conceptual and documentary narratives with which I seek to elaborate discourses for the creation of a contemporary visual collective memory, conscious, ethical, empowering and dignifying, themes that are transversal to my own reality as an indigenous woman and as a photographer.
