A conversation with Nat Castañeda and Nariman El-Mofty from the Associated Press as a part of the EHCN Symposium “Reclaiming the Narrative.”
Nat Castañeda, Visual Storytelling Producer for the Enterprise and Investigations team for the Associated Press
Nat Castañeda is a visual artist and journalist based in Denmark. Common issues in Castañeda’s work are the role of technology within narratives and the permanence of the historical record. She received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts and has shown at venues such as The High Line, El Museo del Barrio and Electronic Arts Intermix. Castañeda works at the Associated Press where she is a Visual Storytelling Producer for the Enterprise and Investigations team. She has contributed to projects on global migration and the civil war in Yemen, which went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 2018. Castañeda’s photography has appeared in the New York Times, U.S. News & World Report and USA Today.
Nariman El-Mofty, photojournalist for the Associated Press based in Cairo, Egypt
After five years photo editing in addition to photographing for the Associated Press Middle East photo desk, Nariman became a staff photojournalist. She tells compelling visual stories in the region – on subjects ranging from the antiquities of Egypt, Arab Spring protests, the annual Hajj in 2016, migration, and the horrors of wars. El-Mofty has covered Yemen, with a sensitive eye for portraiture that highlights the humanity of people struggling to survive amid a society in collapse. In 2019, she was part of an Associated Press team that won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for work uncovering the effects of Yemen's devastating war. She also received the Overseas Press Club’s Olivier Rebbot Award for her Yemen photo reportage. She was awarded the Robert Capa citation for excellence for “Disembarking in Hell” on the dangerous journey of Ethiopian migrants – crossing the sea to Yemen and then making their way to Saudi Arabia. In 2020 she travelled to the Sudanese-Ethiopian border to document the Tigray people who take shelter by the thousands within sight of the homeland they fled in northern Ethiopia and was awarded the citation in the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award for “Fleeing War.” The work was also exhibited in the International Festival of Photojournalism 2021 in Perpignan ‘Visa pour l'image.’
