Ingrid de la Torre

Ingrid de la Torre is an hispano-argentinian social activist, who has been based in Barcelona for the last decade, a whole son of the post-dictatorial silent generation of young people who were forced to emigrate in 2001. Since then, she’s been working as an active member of the social movements of the city.
Researcher of migration processes and their emotional and cultural impact, interested in the identity impact that occurs in the following generations, has made different gender workshops and discussions with teenagers in the Raval neighborhood where she worked as a community educator with families from diverse backgrounds and beliefs.
As a poet, her relationship to art is always understood as a revolutionary tool for social change, position that also took her to “the opressed theater” experience and study their implication in education and management of emotions.
Photography and camera allow her to go over death robbing fragments of life, music and history, considering each of strategic importance in the social conflicts that happen.
Currently, she works as a correspondent journalist for an argentinian paper, alternating with her degree in Social Anthropology at the UNED.
