We hope many ROCLA members
will attend Jonathan Moller's lecture Our Culture is Our Resistance:
Repression, Refuge and Healing in Guatemala, on Thursday,
September 22 at 6 p.m. It takes place in the Dryden
Theater at the George Eastman House.
His new book with photographs and text, with the
same title as his lecture gives testimony to his solidarity with
the people of Guatemala.Its publication has been greeted with acclaim
and received much press attention in Mexico. Over a span of ten
years, he photographedMaya refugees in the
jungles of Guatemala and became a "human rights "accompanier
|
living with communities
of people who returned to Guatemala after years in Mexico. Some
of his most moving images are about the exhumations of those killed
in the civil war of the eighties.
It promises to be a powerful experience to see projected
slides of the photos in his book and to hear him speak about the
effort it took to produce his book. See you there!
