Photography by Erica Frisk
November 6, 2015 – January 29, 2016
Reception: Thursday, December 3 from 6-8 PM
In this body of work “Somos Uno”, photographer Erica Frisk explores the complex relationship of people and land within Oaxaca, Mexico. Like the nearby states of Guerrero and Chiapas, Oaxaca contains a startlingly diverse range of indigenous cultures with roots that reach back many centuries. Each of the groups has an intense connection with the land - through cultivation, and religious beliefs. In Frisk’s photographs, we see an interplay of the natural world and man-made structures both contemporary and ancient, and how each space had a unique history. Ever present are the valleys and hills that are the geographic majority of Oaxaca as well as the people living and working within this landscape.
