Sara Aliaga Ticona

Sara Aliaga Ticona, a photographer and visual storyteller, is based in La Paz, Bolivia.

She is a National Geographic Explorer, winner of the Women Photograph Workshop, winner of a scholarship for RISC training, and was part of the CONTACT festival organized by Photographers Without Borders (Canada). She has worked in multiple media organizations in Bolivia and has been published in The New York Times, The Guardian, POY Latam magazine, Foto-Féminas, the University of Bern's research magazines, Neue Zürcher Zeitung (Switzerland), Reuters and Kulturaustausch (Germany).
