A meal in San Cristóbal de la Casas Chiapas
These pictures represent one of many Mexican kitchens - this is a kitchen where 125 children have breakfast, lunch and dinner on a daily basis. The kitchen is part of the Social Integration Center #30 in San Cristóbal de la Casas Chiapas.
Native children from poor families and from various communities come to this important touristic site in Chiapas to learn how to read and - if they are lucky- to stay there for several years. Their teachers and the "maestro chefs" become their second parents and their friends - without their solidarity and cooperation the childrens lives would be even harder. Today I share with you a meal - one of many served during the year- a meal that not many people are aware of exists. / Raùl Ortega
Estas imágenes representan una de las tantas cocinas mexicanas, esta es una cocina donde desayunan, comen y cenan 125 niños diariamente, una cocina que es parte del Centro de integración social # 30 en San Cristóbal de la Casas Chiapas, donde niños indígenas de muy bajos recursos y de diversas etnias y comunidades, llegan al municipio turístico mas importante de Chiapas a aprender sus primeras letras, y quedando ahí, si hay suerte, por varios años, donde los profesores y las "maestras cocineras" se vuelven sus segundos padres, sus compañeros de vida, donde sin solidaridad y cooperación la vida seria aún mas dura.
Hoy compartimos con ellos y con ustedes una comida, una de las tantas que se sirven durante todo el año y que casi nadie sabe de su existencia.

invited guest (docu 08): Kevin C. Downs
This work is of the Chinese New Year's parade in New York's Chinatown. A community that was devastated after 9/11 and is slowly bouncing back. They are part of a series of ongoing projects I am working on about the disenfranchised working class of New York City and their struggles to survive in a hostile environment that is ravaged by high rents, high cost of food and lack of services. In my projects, I try to always show the dignity of the people I am shooting and make you feel that you are in their presence and you can hear them share their stories of their life with you.
