Community exhibition 'Our Women Ancestors are Here' in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Our Ancestresses Are Here' is a choral visual narrative about the struggle of contemporary Afro-Mexican women from the Costa Chica of Oaxaca.
Last year I began this series of photographs, portraits, and interviews with Yolanda Camacho, activist and founder of the collective Ña a Tundá, and with Poli Habana,a member of the same collective.
So this year we did the first exhibition of this series in the community of Tututepec in Oaxaca where Yolanda Camacho is originally from.
This exhibition is the first installment of a longer series I will create in the following years.
This begins thanks to Ña a tundá's support and the Revolutionary Storyteller Grant 2024 by Photographers Without Borders.

'Nuestras ancestras están aquí', es una narración visual coral sobre la lucha de las mujeres afromexicanas contemporáneas de la Costa Chica de Oaxaca.
El año pasado comencé esta serie de fotografías, retratos y entrevistas con Yolanda Camacho activista y fundadora de la colectiva Ña a Tundá y con Poli Habana, integrante de la misma colectiva.
Así que este año hicimos la primera muestra de esta serie en la comunidade Tututepec en Oaxaca de donde Yolanda Camacho es originaria.
Esta expo es la primera entrega de una serie más larga que estaré creando en los siguientes años.
Este inicio es gracias al apoyo de Ña a tundá y del Revolutionary Storyteller Grant 2024 hecho porotografos sin fronteras.
