Claudia Maturell
Artist, educator, photographer, and storyteller using documentary photography and collaborative visual storytelling to help communities, movements, and organizations see their own stories with clarity and care.
For over a decade, I've worked alongside community arts centers, youth programs, and grassroots organizations in Atlanta, New York, Miami, and beyond — documenting community events, faith spaces, public art, and everyday life.
My practice is rooted in justice, dignity, reciprocity, and the oneness of humanity.
M.A. Art, Education & Community Practice — NYU (Student Excellence Award)
