Agnese Barbarani is an Italian photographer specialising in documentary and portrait photography. In particular, her work embraces visual journalism by exploring environmental and socio-political issues. Central to the narrative is the need to provide a direct statement that can offer an account of global inequalities, social and ecological violence and the power structures that maintain them.

Agnese Barbarani spent several months in Costa Rica documenting the advance of the American capitalist system within the indigenous Ndoge tribe. In 2023, in Armenia, she denounced the exodus from Nagorno Karabakh by the Azerbaijani government. In the same year, she documented the disarmament struggle of the ‘CALP’ port collective in Genoa.
