Hereby another update of the workshop ‘Subjective atlas of Mexico’. It was productive day with also some new (very promising) contributions. Nirvana contributed 13 (!) flags; Arturo received photo’s of his male friends with their mothers and texts about what she meant for them; Marco continued photographing the changarros; Judith scanned her family documents and is constructing a visual narrative out of the family tree; Diego worked out his plan for the audio-visual workshop next week and the very nice graphic designer (professor in information design) Djego Padilla passed by and is invited to contribute to the atlas as well. His plan is to map his (extended) family according to the square meters of their house, combined with their profession. Djego says the variety radical… Maria Luz Bravo attended the lecture last monday and proposed a plan to go to Juárez for another contribution (after having heard the initial plan to do this was cancelled). We’ve decided to plan an extra workshop in november in Juárez with Moniek and Maria and the youth there. Maria also showed a series of photo’s of abandoned places in Juárez. Moniek and I didn’t have any words left. A beautiful and very confronting contribution. The photographer Jose Ramon showed an almost mythical series of photo’s of changarros by night, which is also going to be part of the book.
Arturo, Marco and Judith in deep thoughts
