Seba Kurtis

Seba Kurtis (b.1974, Buenos Aires) is a photographer living in Great Britain. He grew up in Argentina under the military dictatorship. He initially studied journalism and became a political activist. When Argentina suffered economic and political collapse in 2001, Kurtis left with his family for Europe and remained in Spain as an illegal immigrant for over 5 years, an experience that became the main inspiration for his work. He has since explored illegal migration and its impact on culture, society and individual lives. His work was exhibited at Noorderlicht Photofestival in Groningen and New York Photo Festival in 2009. He has had solo exhibitions at Host Gallery in London and Kiosk Gallery in Manchester and is a member of the POC project.
