La Boquilla, Colombia - Camera distribution/exhibitionProgram CoordinatorsLorena Turner, Roger Triana
Program DatesLa Boquilla is a fishing village outside of the growing resort town of Cartegena, Colombia. The community, a former slave colony that flourished for over 150 years, is facing a rapid economic decline due to a variety of political and environmental forces. In the winter of 2005, the photographers Roger Triana and Lorena Turner went to La Boquilla for the first time. In an effort to shed light on the community’s circumstances, as well as to illustrate its dynamic and vibrant cultural life, Lorena and Roger developed a camera distribution project with ten residents of La Boquilla. The resulting images, along with portraits of the participants, have been gathered in the exhibit, La Boquilla. The project offers a window onto the small, virtually invisible population of Afro-Colombians, and a community that struggles to keep its heritage and independence against the encroaching impact of tourism and economic expansion. It has been exhibited in Cartegena, Bogotá, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Oregon, and, in fall 2008, it will be in Panama City. |
