The Bronx Documentary Center’s (BDC) 3rd Annual Latin American Foto Festival will feature large-scale photographs throughout the Melrose community by award-winning photographers from the Caribbean and Latin America. Works by artists from Colombia, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela, Chile and Argentina will be displayed with photos from a variety of long-term projects focusing on social issues. As part of the Festival, the BDC will hold virtual workshops, tours, and panel discussions for our online and Bronx community, home to thousands of Latinx immigrants.
Two of the photographers in this year’s Festival celebrate the role and strength of Latin American women. Luisa Dörr will show her images of cowgirls and rodeo life in Brazil, while Adriana Parrilla’s work explores the cultural roots of Afro-identity in Puerto Rico.
Eric Allende, co-founder of Migrar Photo, a major photographic platform in Chile, photographs the recent uprising there. These images will be shown across the street from Luján Agusti’s documentation of Payasos de Coatepec, a project created in Veracruz, Mexico on religion, colonialism and culture.
