About Catalog
A migrant worker’s tattoo reads ‘Never stop smiling.’ His hands, covered in dirt from handling vegetables, bear the marks of hours of labour. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. August 28, 2024. Medellín Colombia
Carrying over 60 kilograms, this 'cargador' hauls goods between stalls. For many migrants, this grueling work is their only option. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. Taken November 19, 2024. Medellín Colombia
At the end of a long shift, overripe bananas destined for the trash become a much-needed meal for workers. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. Taken August 28, 2024. Medellín Colombia
To cope with sleepless nights and grueling labour, substance use is a common, grim reality for Plaza Mayorista workers. A worker prepares cocaine. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. Taken November 15, 2024. Medellín Colombia
Sitting in exhaustion, these men take their first break since 1am. This brief rest is their only respite in a grueling 12-hour shift. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. Taken around 10am, November 15, 2024. Medellín Colombia
Gambling their hard-earned wages on a roll of the dice, young migrants find fleeting moments of escape in uncertain lives. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. Taken November 19, 2024. Medellín Colombia
Plaza Mayorista spans Medellín’s southern edge, serving as a vital hub of commerce. Migrant workers, often at society’s margins, power its daily operations. Taken August 28, 2024. Medellín Colombia
​Aldair, 20, just two weeks into his search for work in Plaza Mayorista. Like many migrants, he faces uncertainty in a new city, where hope and desperation collide. Medellín, December 12, 2024. Medellín Colombia
For many young migrants, work is never guaranteed. Each day is a gamble, and those without luck wait for a chance to earn. Two sit together, one on his phone, the other resting. Dec 3, 2024. Medellín Colombia
Migrants bear the heaviest loads, physically and socially. As a l​ocal watches, they carry the weight of discrimination along with the goods they transport. Plaza Mayorista, Medellín. December 5, 2024. Medellín Colombia
