Here It’s Also Like This

with Gabriel Boils

Saturday, March 22 at 2pm - Bread & Salt

In this talk, Tijuana based artist Gabriel Boils will share the community based project that led to the publication of Here It’s Also Like This, a photography book that is the result of a research focused on photography in the Mexican state of Baja California in the 21st century. Its main focus is to bring together a group of images of places, characters and situations that have usually remained in the background in the photographic representation of this region. 

This volume unfolds a visual narrative in which the photographs of 37 photographers from different generations and backgrounds are presented in a sequence where each image retains its autonomy, while remaining in dialogue to the others.
