CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WINNERS OF THE 2020 ZEKE AWARD
presented with Social Documentary Network
Featuring Kristen Emack, Jason Houston, and Nicoló Filippo Rosso
Photoville 2020 Talks On-demand recordings are made possible in partnership with PhotoWIngs with additional support by the Philip and Edith Leonian Foundation
ZEKE Award winners Kristen Emack, Jason Houston, and Nicoló Filippo Rosso will present their winning projects and discuss their views on the state of documentary photography today.
Jason’s project, Last Wildest Place, is an investigation into Indigenous communities in one of the most remote, inaccessible, and important areas of the Peruvian Amazon, and their struggle with encroaching deforestation, logging, mining, oil and gas development, cattle grazing, coca cultivation, agricultural expansion, and both legal and illegal road construction projects.
Kristen’s project, Cousins looks at her daughter and three cousins, four Black girls growing up in Massachusetts. “My hope is that when they look back on this work, they will see the beauty of their childhood together, and when they look for everyday representations of themselves in the world, they will find themselves here, in this work we made together, reflected with love.”
Nicoló’s project, Exodus is an investigation of the crisis in Venezuela, and a close look at some of the millions who are fleeing their homeland for Colombia and other neighboring countries, because of the lack of security, access to food, medicine, and essential services, and loss of income due to the political situation.
