Description

What happens when you push back against journalistic objectivity? What role do community papers play? How does connection to community affect how you can tell a story? Photographer, photo editor and CatchLight Mentor Mabel Jiménez and host Monika Aldarondo discuss these questions and much more. Mabel shares her experience photographing asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, her art residency documenting the COVID response in San Francisco and her family’s reaction to her choosing photojournalism as a career.    Show notes Mabel Jiménez https://www.instagram.com/mabeljmnz El Tecolotehttps://eltecolote.org/content/en/ https://www.instagram.com/eltecolotesf/ CatchLighthttps://www.catchlight.io/ https://www.instagram.com/catchlight.io/ San Francisco Arts Commission Covid Command Center Artist Residency (includes video presentation by Mabel)https://sfpl.org/events/2021/07/15/panel-artists-embedded-sf-covid-command-center  San Francisco Library History Center- Covid-19 Time Capsulehttps://sfpl.org/locations/main-library/sf-history-center/digital-collections/covid19-time-capsule Josué Rivashttps://www.instagram.com/josue_foto/ _____ Our Latina Lens  Sign up for newsletter: https://bit.ly/ollnewsflo Support Our Latina Lens Patreon | Buy Me a Cafecito  Shop our Bookshop link  Want to sponsor episodes of Our Latina Lens?Contact us at ourlatinalens [at] gmail.com

Who is your favorite Latina or Latine photographer? Latina/e photographers have been contributing to the visual narrative of the United States for over a hundred years. These stories are rarely known. Our Latina Lens Podcast, hosted by Monika Aldarondo, elevates the work and stories of accomplished US-based Latina/e photographers across genres. Each photographer will be featured in two episodes. The first episode will explore their creative process and journey with photography. In a second episode, photographers delve deep into their most significant images. They share the political, historical, and/or personal context of the creation of their images and why, out of their archive of thousands of photos, they chose these photographs as their most significant.
