Catiana Garcia-Kilroy is a DC based photographer and development economist. In her photography she seeks to recreate the experience of place, whether it is through single images of overlooked details or places, or in more elaborated narratives, linking landscape to the memory of personal stories and historical events.  

She graduated on History of Art from the Complutense University of Madrid and holds graduate and post-graduate degrees on Economics and on European Studies, respectively, from the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. In addition to photography, she works as an economist in development in Emerging and Developing Economies.

She is currently working in a collaborative photobook project with Washington DC based photographer Sandy Sugawara (https://sandysugawara.com) on the World War II Japanese American Incarceration Camps in the US. “Show Me The Way To Go To Home is a visual narrative of the story of the ten Incarceration Camps, where 120,000 Japanese-Americans were incarcerated, and of the Crystal City Enemy Detention Facility, where descendants of nationals from the Axis nations, kidnapped by the US Government from Latin American countries, were detained for a prisoner exchange program. The book was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has won design and production awards.
