This new undertaking by Margarita V. Beltrán, shortlisted among the many 100 finest photographers from our Native open name ‘Latin America Panorama’, reshaped her household reminiscences, validating the basic position that ladies have had all through the years.
“At some point I got here throughout an outdated picture album that had belonged to my uncle David, who had been ordained a priest of the Vincentian order. Within the album there was just one {photograph} the place my grandmother appeared, it was a photograph with all her siblings, my great-grandfather and my uncle David within the heart, lately ordained priest. My grandmother Carmen was standing within the left nook of the body and cropped in half as a result of the photographer had taken her out of the body. I made a decision then, to be the photographer of my household and create a brand new household album, a counter-album, the place ladies are on the heart of the visible illustration, deciding who we’re and the way we construct our relationship with the non secular and spiritual world, versus the gaze of a Latin American patriarchal tradition.”
