The Bronx Documentary Center (BDC) holds its 7th annual Latin American Foto Festival (LAFF) from July 11-28, featuring large-scale photographs by both emerging and established, award-winning photographers. Their work will be displayed throughout the South Bronx’s Melrose neighborhood. This year, marking the 7th anniversary of LAFF, we will be expanding the Festival to five new locations in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn! The Festival includes works from Bolivia, Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala and Brazil–photographs representing long-term projects on Bolivian women wearing traditional skirts or “cholas”; environmental and social damage in the Amazon; the worlds of single mothers and girls in Centro Habana; a centuries-old ritual dance in Guatemala; the impact of US immigration policy on migrants in Mexico, the community of Tlacotalpan, Mexico, and its river; basketball culture in Oaxaca indigenous communities; the hip hop movement in Peru; and archival images of a Caribbean social club in Brooklyn. As part of the Festival, the BDC will hold in-person workshops, tours, panel discussions, and other community events.
