Zaira Biagini (b. 1993, Genoa, Italy) is an internationally engaged documentary photographer, senior production manager, and photo curator whose work amplifies narratives of resistance, identity, and human rights.

With over a decade of experience, Zaira’s practice focuses on anti-colonial and feminist movements across Europe, documenting struggles for justice and dignity through a lens grounded in political awareness and ethical storytelling.

Alongside her photographic work, she brings extensive expertise as a production manager, coordinating large-scale, cross-border video and photo productions, and as a curator dedicated to critical and responsible visual narratives.

Since 2013, she has led The W Project—a deeply personal exploration of ADHD, social anxiety, and physical reappropriation in natural and urban spaces, conceived as a visual dialogue with the legacy of Francesca Woodman.

In 2023, Zaira began a long-term documentation of pro-Palestinian activism in Berlin, exposing state repression, police violence, and systemic human rights violations.

Since 2025, she has been a contributor for ZumaPress.

Holding a degree in International Political Science, Zaira combines political insight with visual storytelling, drawing from experiences in Rome, Sydney, Bali, and New York to inform her nuanced, globally conscious approach.

Based in Berlin since 2020, she continues to expand her work at the intersection of documentary photography, activism, and visual culture, contributing to exhibitions, publications, and collaborative projects worldwide.
