The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2017
Invisibles
I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia between the age of seven and twelve, and this was the trigger to generating this process about people with 'disability' and their caregivers. To turn the spectator into a witness and establish dialogues a little more inclusive in the face of adversity. We made their stories visible with the excuse of art, we create community meetings, encourage the creation of micro-enterprises, hold productive fairs and art exhibitions as a way to give a voice to those people who are hardly heard. It must be understood that they are not people "with lack of capacity", they simply are people with other types of skills. They understand that the limitations are those that we impose on ourselves and are not exactly physical.
