Documenting My Indigenous Culture
About Jero Gonzalez
Jero Gonzales (Cusco, Perú) is a graduate of the Centro de la Imagen (Lima, Perú). After finishing his studies, he returned to Cusco to start personal projects related to ethnography and Andean landscape. Parallel to his personal work, he organizes and develops visual education workshops with children and young people from Quechua-speaking communities, where the visual arts become an excuse to address issues of identity and cultural heritage.
As a photographer, he has a deep interest in territory and the Quechua language. The use of analog cameras allows him to realize new visual possibilities, through the exploration and combination of ancient and modern processes in the production of images.
