STORYTELLING FOR CHANGE
NEXT SESSION:
Wednesday, November 4th @ 12:00 PM ET
Join us for the next session of Storytelling for Change with Greta Rico – a Mexican Documentary Photographer, Journalist and Educator focused on issues related to; gender, environment, climate change and food. Her work focuses on exploring new social representations in contemporary visual culture. Through her projects she reflects on the care economy, coloniality, capitalist dispossession and the social trauma of current phenomena.
Greta’s project, Gardens of chaos: the extinction of food, is a visual research that explores crop loss and related impacts of climate change in native maize and Milpa agriculture in Mexico and the challenges faced by small-scale farmers. This collaborative project in dialogue with peasant and indigenous communities highlights the Milpas and as a positive solution that can mitigate food insecurity because of climate vulnerability in the region.
Greta is part of the National System of Art Creators in Mexico, her documentary projects have received grants such as the Leica Women Photo Project, the Bertha Challenge Fellowship, the Women Photograph Grant, the National Geographic COVID-19 Reporting Grant and the Bob and Diane Fund among other awards and recognitions.
