About Me

Slide show by claudio gaete-tapia


I love to travel off the beaten path. My trusty companions are my camera, curiosity and love of people. Photography is a tool to tell people's stories. Although I enjoy playing with shadows and light, this is not why I find photography interesting. With the slightest click of the camera one is able to capture a moment in history and if it is taken well it can represent much more then just a second but a life time. Curiosity is my tool because things in today's world are upside down. I like to question why things are instead of accepting reality as it is defined by those who call themselves experts.Se daran acabo talleres de informacion como parte de los circulos de aprendizaje. En Solidaridad.

I'd like to meet:

Other curious people, Those who value people more then money or status, People who are not afraid to walk off the beaten path and create a new road for human development and in balance with mother earth.------------------------------------------------------ --It has been over 5 year since I took this photograph. On July 22, 2000 I began a journey through Indigenous communities in Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. I was accompanied by my trusty comrades; curiosity, camera and love for people. The experiences we shared about our daily living condition gave me a deeper understanding that our realities have different manifestations but fundamentally the same contradiction.The conditions that poor people, Immigrants, the African-American community and Indigenous communities continue to face compel me to contribute the narratives of our people throughout Abya Yala; our stories of displacement, solidarity and struggle.Photographs will be available for purchase to continue funding the work with Indigenous communities throughout Abya Yala making links with grassroots communities in Chicago, the Bronx, New Orleans and Immokalee.Poets and musicians will perform in solidarity.Abya Yala is the KUNA name for the continent call america.en solidaridad, claudio gaete-tapia
