ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born and raised in the U.S./ Mexican border region of Juarez and El Paso, Ada Trillo is a first-generation Mexican-American photographer. Currently based on the East Coast, Trillo’s photographic work focuses on human displacement, socioeconomic and humanitarian crises, and the profound social, political, and cultural transformations that show how poverty, gender, and structural exclusion and inequality have a particular incidence among women and children.

Her photographs have been featured in international publications, including The Guardian, Vogue, Smithsonian Magazine, and Mother Jones. Trillo's work is in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and other institutional and private collections. 

Awards include The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Fellowship (2022), The Eddie Adams Workshop Canon Award (2022), The British Journal of Photography Female In Focus Best Series Award (2020), and The Me & Eve Grant from the Center of Photographic Arts in Santa Fe (2020).

Trillo's first monograph, La Caravana Del Diablo: On the Run from the Northern Triangle to America was published by Komma (Netherlands, 2021). The book chronicles seven years of traveling with refugees and migrants from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Her photographs have been included in solo and group exhibits in the United States, Japan, Luxembourg, Italy, England, France, and Germany. Trillo holds degrees from the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, Drexel University in Philadelphia, and the International Center of Photography in New York, with a concentration in Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism.
