Documenting the Impact of Covid-19 through Photography: Collective Isolation in Latin America Online Exhibition is open!
Click here to access the exhibit. Sponsored by the DRCLAS Arts, Culture, and Film Program and ReVista, the exhibit features 26 selected entries from the Open Call, including the four prizewinners from Peru, Mexico and Brazil. Photojournalists and artists from Brazil, Uruguay, Perú Chile, México, Colombia, Panamá, El Salvador, Venezuela, Argentina, and Cuba contributed to the exhibit. There is an interesting balance between breathtaking "front line" scenes at hospitals and cemeteries, hardly seen city views that put in evidence the lockdown of much of our cities in Latinoamerica, and less obvious but intimately powerful images related to the challenges of daily/ domestic life during isolation.
Welcome
ReVista focuses on different themes related to Latin America. The magazine-length publication brings together different voices on each theme, highlighting the work of Harvard faculty, students, alumni and Visiting Scholars. The current issue is on bilingualism.
We also feature timely Spotlights, some of which will eventually become full-fledged issues. We just launched a Spotlight on Covid-19, in addition to our Spotlight on the Amazon.
