Framing Hunger

Hunger is a global crisis often overshadowed by stereotypes and statistics. This session offers a journey through Lys Arango’s work, shedding light on the personal and collective stories of those affected by food insecurity. From the drought-stricken fields of Guatemala to urban precarity in France and the enduring link between conflict and hunger in Colombia, her work reveals the complexities and lived experiences of communities facing this crisis.

Through a thoughtful and deeply human approach, Lys reframes the narrative around hunger, moving beyond sensationalism to focus on dignity and daily realities. Her long-term commitment to her subjects allows her to capture the layered impacts of inequality, climate change, and war, creating a profound visual testimony.

This session will explore how photography can serve as a bridge, connecting audiences to unseen realities and fostering a deeper understanding of one of the most pressing issues of our time.
