Mateo Arciniegas is a Brooklyn-based photographer who turns raw moments into powerful visual statements. His work bends the lines between documentary and art, capturing stories that refuse to be forgotten. From solo exhibitions in New York to public installations in Bogotá, his images hit with the weight of memory and rebellion.

Shortlisted for the Helsinki Photo Festival and PHoto España, Mateo’s work has been exhibited everywhere from the streets of Brooklyn to the halls of the Colombian Senate. With zines like +571 and Fuck You Don’t Tell, he keeps pushing boundaries—because for him, photography isn’t just about seeing, it’s about shaking things up.
