My Friend Ryan Stopera alerted me to this amazing photo project.
In her own words
This project was born while I was working with the families of the 43 students that from a rural teachers school that disappeared last year in Iguala. While working with them, I noticed that none of them had family photos - all they had were snapshots taken on their cell phones that were lost or accidentally deleted. Nobody printed any more pictures. It struck me that these people were not just denied a future with their loved ones, but they were also denied a past - with the lost photos, the memories would also eventually vanish. And who are we, without our memories? Follow me this week as I share some of my recent work @worldpressphoto Thank you! ・・・ Hi, this Adriana Zehbrauskas @adrianazehbrauskas, a photographer based in Mexico City and one of the Masters of the first World Press Photo Masterclass Latin America with Fundación Pedro Meyer (Mexico, Dec 2015). Please follow me here this week, where I’ll will be sharing images from recent stories I worked on. Thank you! Today I’ll be sharing images from Guerrero, Mexico, where I spent a good part of the year covering the story of the kidnapping and disappearance of 43 students from a rural teachers’ college in Iguala on the night of Sept 26th, 2014. This image: Xalpa, 19 - after Xalpatlahuac, the village where he comes from - is one of the survivors of that night, photographed here in his dorm at the Escuela Normal Rural Raul Isidro Burgos, the Ayotzinapa teacher’s rural school. In this 3,5 x 4 m2 room, without windows and a broken door, four first year students sleep on thin mattresses on the floor. They were 13 before that night. Now four are dead, one is wounded, one quit and three are missing. The school is one of 16 institutions around Mexico that arose following Mexico’s revolution nearly a century ago with the aim of training teachers to raise literacy and standards of living among the rural poor. More than a year after the police handed the students over to a local drug cartel, the Guerreros Unidos - a group allegedly connected to the Iguala mayor and his wife-little has come to light and many questions remain unanswered. The role of the Mexican Army on that night is still in question. The remains of only two students have been officially identified. The parents still believe that their sons are alive.
