The island of Mulatupu is where I first carried out my ethnographic fieldwork with Guna people. I stayed from October 2011 to February 2012 and later revisited in May 2013, from which an ethnographic film came about on the barter of coconuts for basic merchandise, which is their base economic and sustenance practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b87d96f4ca326e6c56e29/1562793468228-V1PDUQ0KPBVD81X6UWOI/Marina011.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b87d96f4ca326e6c56e29/1725994649984-QKZYSGNSSX3LZAY0JTXT/Embalse+Amani_analogo_HM.jpg Projects - Monumentos al Necropoder (Monuments to Necropower) Exhibited at Colombia's National Museum in Bogotá, this medium-format series explores how the country's rural landscape was radically transformed with under the collusion of paramilitary forces and state officials. Displacing and killing thousands of innocent "campesinos", this collusion was intended to clear the land for the building of hydroelectric dams. https://www.alejh.com/commissioned daily 0.75 2025-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b87d96f4ca326e6c56e29/1512714272032-ZPG3RNYNZZ2FVM0TGAYK/DSC00519.jpg Commissioned https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b87d96f4ca326e6c56e29/1510712791351-CTS5R1HZCJGC7KUWDHV9/DSC07152.jpg Commissioned - Picó, Carepa Style   Picó is transliteration in Spanish for “pick-up.” I initially thought it stood for the Chevrolet pick-up trucks in which they transport the massive sound system from one location to another, since the scene is something of an itinerant road show. But it comes from the vinyl turntable pick-up needle, introduced with the electronic phonograph that the early set-ups used. Whoever collected exclusive and popular hit records, while being able to mix them artfully, decorate their sound system with signature designs, and pump up the volume on boot-knocking speakers, would be king of the block party in lower-income neighborhoods. One could say that a Picó is as much of a get-together or a party scene as a deeply entrenched celebration of the region’s trans-continental African heritage. Regions of Colombia that are of obvious Spanish descent unfortunately, often (or perhaps systematically) overlook this.

The Caravana 43 is a collective of the family members and friends of the 43 disappeared students from Ayotzinapa, Mexico. For over a month, they toured throughout most of the United States. They did so to spread awareness about their plight: their sons are still missing, but the official (and most likely false) narrative of the Mexican government says that they are dead. Thus, no official effort is being made to find them and their parents are being told to “let it go.” The Caravana 43 culminated in New York City, where about 1,500 people marched from Washington Square to the U.N. headquarters in Manhattan, explaining their reasons to march to anyone interested along the way, on April 26th 2015. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b87d96f4ca326e6c56e29/1514078579712-I4F36IAKNAGATWNLODR4/IMG_4599.jpg Commissioned - At the Heart of the West Indies Parade In New York City, Labor Day is associated with the West Indies Carnival.
