Is Normality a Privilege?
​

"Is Normality a Privilege?" is an exploration of everyday life in Venezuela between 2023 and 2024. While Venezuela has been frequently highlighted in global news for its severe political and economic crises, these reports often obscure the nuanced realities of daily life, reinforcing a one-dimensional view of the country. Such depictions make it challenging to grasp the country’s multifaceted nature and diverse stories.

Though I hail from a neighboring country, my understanding of Venezuela was limited until I moved there at the end of 2022. Photography, then, has been my tool to navigate and unravel the layers of this unfamiliar and enigmatic place. Through my camera, I have wandered its streets, met its people, and experienced the dynamic pulse of its daily existence which helped me answer some questions and placed hundreds of others.
