Bluefields, Nicaragua 2010

Bluefields, Nicaragua is the place and space of Afro-descendent people on the Atlantic Ocean of Nicaragua. During this sojourn I visited with Nicaraguans from Bluefields who were organizing to control their land, water, and homes on the Atlantic Coast. They showed me maps of their autonomous area and the structure of their local community controlled government and leaders. Their are many lessons for us to learn from everyday people organizing and building their dreams as they learn about their political and cultural relationship to Bluefields and the legacy of their Afro-descendant history.

Community: A Place Where We Gather

An Ethnographic Photo Exhibition

This exhibition invites you into 'A Place Where We Gather'—a visual narrative that connects three cities: Gondar, Ethiopia, Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland. Through ethnographic photography, these images reveal the rhythms of everyday life, where people come together in markets, on streets, in parks, during moments of worship, in protest, and in celebration.

At its core, this exhibition explores community not as a distant concept, but as an everyday practice of culture, wellness, resistance, joy, and healing. These photographs capture the ordinary and the profound, reminding us that community is built and sustained through the small acts of gathering, sharing, and being together.

Community: A Place Where We Gather reminds us that to understand a people, we must look at how they gather, how they care for each other, how they create joy, and how they hold space for healing. Through the lens of community life, these images illuminate the heartbeats of Gondar, DC and Baltimore, showing us that across geographies and generations, gathering is a radical and life-affirming act.
