Who, what, when, where, why. These 5 questions are the basis of journalism. These are questions that do not admit a yes or no as an answer, but rather an explanation, and they form the title of 5W, the great magazine of which Anna Surinyach is co-founder and graphic editor.
We talk about her photojournalistic work focused on people who have been forced to leave their countries because of violence: any kind of violence. She has done work using the material that these people have recorded on their cell phones, which at the end helps us to have another point of view, a more complete image, different from those showing people piled up in dinghies, to which we are already, unfortunately, too used to.
Anna has just returned from Bucha, in Ukraine, where she has been documenting the witnesses of the survivors, who are the ones who can give a more direct testimony of how they have lived all that is happening.
Anna Surinyach is a photojournalist and graphic editor of Revista 5W. She has also worked with other national and international media. The main area of her work as a photojournalist is migration around the world. She has coordinated projects like Tierra sin ellas, winner of the 2019 Desalambre Prize, and Éxodos, with Doctors without Borders. She has made two short documentaries: Misbah, with Revista 5W, and #Boza with the visual artist Severine Sajous. Her photographs have been exhibited in several cities, among them Buenos Aires, Montevideo, San Francisco, Paris, Barcelona, and Madrid.
