Zaira Biagini (b. 1993, Genoa, Italy) is an internationally engaged photojournalist, producer, and photo curator based in Berlin.

Her practice explores resistance, identity, social justice, and human rights, with a focus on anti-colonial, anti-capitalist, and feminist movements across Europe.

For over a decade, Biagini has worked across politically engaged photojournalism and documentary photography, examining systems of power, collective resistance, and communities confronting social and political struggle. Alongside her photographic practice, she produces large-scale, cross-border photo and video projects and curates socially engaged visual narratives.

Since 2013, she has developed The W Project, an ongoing exploration of ADHD, social anxiety, embodiment, and the reappropriation of natural and urban spaces. In dialogue with the legacy of Francesca Woodman, the project explores vulnerability, identity, the human body, capitalism, and environmental destruction.

Since 2023, Biagini has documented pro-Palestinian activism in Berlin, focusing on state repression, police violence, freedom of expression, and political dissent in Germany. She is also a co-founder and curator of FTRTS, a travelling photography exhibition documenting police violence and the repression of anti-genocide activists in Berlin. Conceived as an act of denunciation and a tool for accountability, FTRTS operates as a visual counter-narrative to dominant German media representations, challenging the criminalization of the pro-Palestinian movement.

Biagini is a contributor to dinamoPress (2024), Zuma Press (2025), and JNA Press (2026), producing photographic work for international news and editorial coverage.

Holding a degree in International Political Science, she combines political insight with an ethical approach to visual storytelling, bringing analytical depth and contextual awareness to her photographic practice.
