Melina, yalaltec descendant.

Hello everyone! I’m Citlali Fabian @citlalifabian, a Yalalteca photographer from Oaxaca, Mexico, now based in London. This week’s Photoworks Instagram takeover.

I’ll be sharing images of “Ben’n Yalhalhj - I’m from Yalalag” a personal project to document my Yalalteca culture, the Zapotec people originally from the North Sierra in Oaxaca now spread all around Mexico and Los Angeles. This is a family reunion, a way to honour my ancestors and to see our culture stay alive and withstand colonization processes.

My cousins Yessi and Kristel, daughters of my aunt María, granddaughters of my uncle Nemo, cousin of my grandma Chencha. This is the thread that connects us as the big family that we are.

Sisterhood

Stitch, stitch to heal... to write our story.

My sister and I are part of a generation of Yalaltecos who were born away from our motherland. Migration in the aim of achieving a better life is nothing new. As humans we have the right to migrate.

Although in this process it is difficult to not be hurt from racism and colonisation practices, we will resist.

Hello everyone! I’m Citlali Fabian @citlalifabian, a Yalalteca photographer from Oaxaca, Mexico, now based in London. This week’s Photoworks Instagram takeover.

I’ll be sharing images of “Ben’n Yalhalhj - I’m from Yalalag” a personal project to go back to my roots, to document my indigenous diaspora, to talk about my Yalalteca identity and define it from my personal experiences with my family and community, all in relation with our migration and cultural processes.

This image is a digital collage of a photo with my cousins and grandparents at their home in Yalalag, our community of origin in the Oaxacan Sierra around 20 years ago, my dad took this photo. I took the black and white photo in the background. In a way is a reminder of the places we inhabited, the pass of time, but also my decision to revitalize my memories.

Hi everyone, this is @rami.hara, this week’s Photoworks Instagram Takeover. I’m a Brussels based artist and I will be sharing my latest ongoing series Do-rag, Duːˌræɡ.

With my work I strive to combat the ignorance and harmful portrayal that is continuously thrust upon us, by means of uplifting my community and showing the myriads of beauty that exists in our different cultures.
