Gloria Oyarzabal, the Spanish photographer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (UCM), divides her professional activity between photography, cinema and teaching. She is a co-founder of the Independent Cinema “La Enana Marrón” (The Brown Dwarf) in Madrid (1999-2009), dedicated to experimental and alternative cinema. During her years in Mali (2009-2012), where she spent her time studying, discovering and understanding the Machiavellian way in which an IDEA of Africa – that works to our benefit – has been created over centuries, she realized that to be able to analyze the present you need to look back to the past whilst staying in touch with the future.
