Description

Fatherland exposes the scars born from decades of violent hate crimes throughout Peru's cities, deserts, the Andes, and the jungles of the Amazon. Although no assailant is shown, the series underscores the dangerous effects of patriarchy and intolerance, and examines how these constructs create toxic environments that lend little worth to LGBTQ lives. To give voice to the victims, each image is captioned with their name, age, and the year, location, and nature of the assault.
