ancash (2017)

Carhuaz, Caraz, Chacas, Sapcha, Yanama. Places where a conscious understanding of our inherited identities emerged in me, with a camera as an ice breaker and mutual curiosity as a drive.

“I recently went to the mountains and I couldn’t believe,
The resentment some of my brothers could feel.
When acknowledging my provenance a terrible reaction,
Recognizing in my image so many years of oppression.
And the worst of all is that I can understand it
So much pain, you can't disappear so easily.”

Lyrics, from “Criminales” Olaya Sound System.
Written by Lorenzo Zolezzi, Matteo Bonora and Paz Ferrand (2010).
