Colombian photography exhibition featured in San Francisco, USA

The nonprofit gallery SF Camerawork (San Francisco, California), created to promote new and emerging photography, will be featuring the exhibition Fourth World: Current Photography from Colombia, curated by Colombian curators: Carolina Ponce de León and Santiago Rueda Fajardo from September 10 through October 24, 2015. The exhibition will highlight the work of four photographers whose images explore experiences of cultural and ideological conflict that characterize daily life in Colombia. The exhibition title, taken from a series of works by artist Jaime Ávila, suggests a geographical and social specificity that points to the urgency surrounding photography in Colombia today. Embedded in a history of social and armed conflict, ethnography, anthropology, journalism and political activism, this selection of photography from artists Jaime Avila, Zoraida Diaz, Luz Elena Castro and Andres Felipe Orjuela question its complexities and concerns. This exhibition is supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Galería Nueveochenta.
