Revista OJO
Revista Ojo was a cultural printed magazine based in Caracas, Venezuela. For its digital and printed editions, I wrote about democracy in Ukraine, the Arab Spring, the Referendum in South Sudan, LGBT+ rights in Russia, and several other foreign affairs issues. I also published profiles, stories and interviews. Furthermore, I was in charge of the editorial production, printing and distribution coordination, and promotional coordination.

Reviews
Sin Maletas, Revised Edition Published by Editorial Carena (Spain) in 2019.
“There is a lot of talk about forced migration yet little is known. It is seen as a terrible problem suffered by people far away from us. Also, it belongs to the sad category of problems outworn in the press. Hence, it is usually viewed with indifference. This book dignifies refugees by making their lives visible and finally granting them the justice of a suitcase where their voices will fit. That is already something formidable. Sin Maletas is a book as endearing as it is necessary."
—Alberto Salcedo Ramos.
Peer-Reviewed Research Article Published by Universidad Iberoamericana.
“Within the register of living, an investigation like the one Gabriela Benazar Acosta presents in Migration, Stagnation and Segregation: Spatial Policies in Greece after the EU-Turkey Agreement, confirms the way in which European policies have been insufficient and have rather created "Borders within the borders", where the state of exception and suspension of rights is perpetuated, in the manner understood by Agamben.”
— José Luis Barrios.
