Fabiola Ferrero: Venezuela, The Wells Run Dry
October 28—November 22, 2022
”
‘Venezuela, The Wells Run Dry’ by Fabiola Ferrero explores the disappearance of the Venezuelan middle class. A prosperous democracy in the 1960s and 1970s, the country is struggling to extricate itself from a deep economic crisis, marked by the plummeting price of oil, endemic corruption, and hyperinflation. Seven consecutive years of economic collapse and political crisis have widened the inequality gap and destroyed the middle class. The Venezuelan photographer set out to document years of wealth that now exist only in memory. She traveled to places that were once symbols of prosperity, looking for the remnants of a vanished economic success story. Her reportage took her across the country, photographing the disappearing oil and salt industries and the communities that depend on them, the looted and abandoned universities, and the last traces left behind by Venezuelans who decided to leave the country for a better future.”
