For the past two years, Michael has been living in Peru documenting the Indigenous Quechua people of the Andes. The project is focused on the unique culture of the Quechua, their intimate connection to the land, and their deep spirituality as they struggle to maintain their way of life in a rapidly changing world. In this presentation, Michael will share images and stories from the project for the first time at Gallery 881.
Gallery 881 is a lens-based art hub promoting the photographic arts in Vancouver through exhibitions, art sales, public events, and other visual art-based programming. Michael is excited to be partnering with Gallery 881 owner John Goldsmith to bring you this project for the first time in Vancouver.
A select series of small prints from the project will be made available at the presentation. These will be printed by PrintMaker Studio which is the full-service, fine art print studio and framing service available at Gallery 881.
A booklet of photos from the project is available to presentation attendees and can be purchased at a discounted price when purchased with their ticket. This booklet is not available to the general public.
