About the artist
Elisa has worked as a photographer and cinematographer on six continents producing work for outlets such as Newsweek, National Geographic, and BBC. Covering challenging environments, from the Rabaa massacre in Cairo and domestic violence within Iraqi refugee camps to the impact of cyclone Idai in Mozambique, has fuelled her work with social consciousness. Her travelling art exhibition and book, The Spiral of Containment: Rape’s Aftermath, detail her experience as a rape survivor healing trauma alongside 24 fellow survivors’ voices through photography, film, holographic projections and soundscapes. This work was exhibited at the OXO Tower Bargehouse Gallery in London, the Cape Town Art Fair, and the Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct in South Africa, where Mandela and Gandhi were once imprisoned. It is now a part of the Constitution Hill permanent museum art collection in Johannesburg and headed next for Athens’ Art4More exhibition in October 2022.
In 2020, Elisa founded Reframe House media agency to shift views on social justice through art and multi-media. She has since worked with prisoners of war in Cameroon to raise awareness of the conflict, through the Humans of the Forgotten War campaign; and with children experiencing chronic illness at the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. The Open University is currently studying her work methodology to asses the degree to which art can become a form of justice.
Originally from Mexico but with home bases around the globe, Elisa’s conceptual work is grounded in magical realism. She is fascinated by the realm of the imagination and pulls from her background in cinematography and film production to address serious global issues. She believes that art has the power to generate awareness, trigger change, and support those in front of the lens on their healing journey.
She studied at York University in Toronto and City University London, graduating in BA Honours Film Production – Cinematography and MA in International Journalism – Conflict Reporting.
