Katya Bogachevskaia

Katya Bogachevskaya (1986) is a Russian visual artist, curator, editor, and lecturer, based in Lisbon (Portugal). She is the founder of the Academy of Documentary and Art Photography Fotografika, of the Fotografika Publishing, and editor of Photojournal of Republic Media. After moving to Portugal, photography became a tool to express her feelings about forced emigration and the war unleashed by her native country in Ukraine. Through her work, she reflects on the impact of this war, searches for her own identity, copes with the loss of her home, fears for her children, and navigates the process of integrating into a new environment. In 2024, Bogachevskaya was selected by the Bienal Fotografia do Porto to join the FUTURES platform.
