HUMAN RIGHTS ARCHIVE

DUKE UNIVERSITY

In 2008 Karen Glynn, the ‘then’ director at the Rubinstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina contacted me, after seeing an exhibition of my Latina American Work at WOLA ‘Washington Office of Latin America’ in Washington D.C.. She and Patrick Stawski, the new Human Rights Archivist at the Library, visited me at my home in Washington D.C. to look at prints, which I had printed in my darkroom located in the basement of our family home. They spent the whole day looking at my work and talking about the Library, and what it meant to be included in the collection. At the end of their visit Karen Glynn invited me to be part of the Archive at the Rubinstein Gallery, which now has archived over 420black-and-white prints of my work in darkroom and inkjet formats and associated digital images and project files. 

The exhibition ‘al margen’ has been shown in 2011 in the Frederic Jameson Gallery and the Perkins Gallery .

The special edition book of the ’The Backpackers’/ “Los Mochileros” has been shown at the David M. Rubinstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library. It has been added to the Duke University's Rubenstein Library collection.
