The work will be presented during a talk with the artist and collaborators on Wednesday, September 9th at 6pm.The digital archive expands on Izquierdo Ugaz’s ongoing series of photo portraits of their queer chosen family, and features over 40 images accompanied by text and audio testimonies. Created in collaboration between the photographer and the sitters, Se Que Fue Así Porque Estuve Allí forms a poetic and intimate perspective of a community, enabled to tell their own stories in their own voices.
