  1. AQUI Y ALLA

Through a conversation with photographer Winston Vargas, we explore the evolution of the Dominican community that migrated from one island to another. We witness through his gaze the peculiar experience of the diaspora in Washington Heights, but most importantly the effect of the community on its new environment. Apart from addressing Dominican identity, Winston confronts the difficulties of adapting, their resilience and the value of documenting and visually expressing their presence over the years.

A través de una conversación con el fotógrafo Winston Vargas, exploramos la evolución de la comunidad dominicana que emigró de una isla a otra. Somos testigos a través de su mirada de la peculiar experiencia de la diáspora en Washington Heights, pero más importante aún del efecto de la comunidad en su nuevo entorno. Además de abordar la identidad dominicana, Winston enfrenta las dificultades de adaptación, su resiliencia y el valor de documentar y expresar visualmente su presencia a lo largo de los años.
