… en los dias mas tristes del tiempo [in the saddest days of time], Guatemala, 1990

Luis González Palma: Early Work
November 16 – January 11

Opening Saturday 11 am – 6 pm

“During his early career, Luis González Palma made portraits of Guatemalan people of Mayan or mixed Mayan descent to honor their heritage and bring attention to the discrimination and exclusion they faced. In the process, he gained a greater understanding of his own mestizo ancestry. González Palma explains that “…having lived in a country ravaged by more than thirty years of armed conflict…[t]he subject of fear, loneliness, emptiness and absence are deeply embedded in my work.””
