Manuel Guarena
02/05/2026Dominican-American documentary photographer and visual storyteller working between the Dominican Republic and the United States. Her practice focuses on women and everyday life, exploring how identity, memory and belonging are constructed from territory, family and collective history.
She develops long-term projects that integrate documentary photography, self-portraiture, text and archival research. She is interested in women in unfinished or transitional spaces, moving away from spectacle to focus on intimate gestures, domestic interiors and unresolved moments. For her, the image is a testimony and an ethical act of documentation.
She is the founder of Fotógrafas Dominicanas, a platform that makes visible the work of women photographers in the country and questions their historical institutional underrepresentation. Her work, influenced by documentary ethics and an archival sensibility, understands photography as responsibility, continuity and community commitment.
