Striking Worker, Assassinated/ [Obrero en Huelga, Asesinado]
Manuel Alvarez Bravo
Negative 1934; print 1974
Manuel Alvarez Bravo is a Mexican surreal photographer from the late 1920s to the 1990s and is considered the main representative of Latin America photography in the 20th century. He did work after the Mexican Revolution and was a time of creativity, renaissance, and renewal of Mexican Roots. This photograph is a Mexican worker who was assassinated during a strike. I resemble with this photograph because of the same violence going on now in my home country in Mexico. It speaks to me as if times have not changed and we haven't grown as a society.
