Casa Zirio presents two bodies of work that understand photography as a situated practice, shaped by matter, community and the archive. Javier Vanegas (Bogotá, 1984), winner of Colombia’s 2023 National Photography Prize, brings AMPO, glass ambrotypes of people with albinism, and IAluna 2.0, images developed by chlorophyll printing on coca leaves alongside the Kogui community of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. As a counterpoint, the Gilberto Ante Archive: more than 27,000 negatives taken in Cuba between 1960 and 1990 by the official photographer of the Revolution, who also looked at its margins.

Artists: Javier Vanegas, Gilberto Ante Archive.
