AUDE OSNOWYCZ
Graduated with a master's degree in geopolitics, Aude Osnowycz worked in various professions before turning to photography.
She decided in 2011 to become a photojournalist and moved to Tunisia. She spent four years documenting the impacts of the Arab Spring (in Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Syria, Libya), particularly on issues related to minorities, women, and genre. Osnowycz's work has been published in numerous international magazines such as Le Monde, Marie Claire, GEO, OBS, The New York Times, Médiapart, the Guardian, Vanity fair, Newsweek, etc ...
She has also exhibited her work at the phémina festival, RDVI, Barrob Objectif, Les Photographiques du Mans, and the Women Exposing themselves festival, chosen as the finalist for the Mentor Award and the Roger Pic Award.
Recently, she decided to start a long-term project focused on the post-soviet universe. This more intimate work questions both the Slavic soul and her family's past and reflects the gap between new and old generations, some carried by Soviet Putinian values the other by Western values.
She also worked on the Putin generation in Russia, Belarusian exiles, and the militarization of children in the post-soviet space. In general, she tries to paint a portrait of this gray area wedged between Russia and Europe, little covered by the media but of primary geostrategic importance.
