This bilingual exhibition looks at the presence of photography in the context of the 2018 civil protests in Nicaragua, and their aftermath. Photography is examined here as a means of documentation, and as a method for reflection. We foreground the manner in which photography interweaves with memory: understood in an active sense, as something that is present, instead of something that belongs to the past, and also as intrinsic to the struggle for justice. Formatted and distributed as a newspaper, it is to be shared, passed from hand to hand, unfolded, read, and disassembled; its pages displayed onto everyday streets and walls, or within a gallery, communal space, even within one’s home. It is intended to serve as a connective thread between Nicaraguan communities around the world, distributed via networks of friends. We are blocking online distribution to protect contributors, and to signal the continued repression and censorship within the country.
