LatinPhoto.org: The Coronavirus in Latin America

LATINPHOTO.org ha estado apoyando a fotógrafos de América Latina durante 20 años. Nuestros miembros también se ven afectados por la pandemia de COVID-19. Muchos de ellos han perdido sus trabajos y ya no pueden moverse libremente como resultado de los bloqueos. Algunos miembros fotografiaron la pandemia con informes impresionantes, mientras que otros comenzaron a documentar su vida cotidiana. Con el proyecto del libro «El Coronavirus en América Latina» nos gustaría plasmar y honrar el trabajo de 15 de nuestros fotógrafos.

Desde la ONG Paul Venezuela aplaudimos esta iniciativa y felicitamos a nuestro embajador de buena voluntad en Venezuela, Gustavo Bauer, experto documentalista gráfico que ha sido seleccionado entre los 15 fotógrafos de la orgnización para plasmar su trabajo desarrollado durante los meses más duros de la pandemia, y nos unimos a la campaña emprendida por Latinphoto desde hoy.
