About
Catiana Garcia-Kilroy is a DC based photographer and development economist. In her photography she seeks to recreate the experience of place, whether it is through single images of overlooked details or places, or in more elaborated narratives, linking landscape to the memory of personal stories and historical events.
She is currently working in a collaborative photobook project with Washington DC based photographer Sandy Sugawara (https://sandysugawara.com) on the World War II Japanese American Incarceration Camps in the US. The project is a visual narrative of the story of the ten Incarceration Camps, where 120,000 Japanese-Americans were incarcerated, and of the Crystal City Enemy Detention Facility, where descendants of nationals from the Axis nations, kidnapped by the US Government from Latin American countries, were detained for a prisoner exchange program.
