Talamanca Negra

In the clustered 8% of the Afro - Costa Rican population, on the underdeveloped Caribbean coast, this photography series explores the integrity of developing a tourist city attracting foreigners and digital nomads in a place deemed exotic, but also where there was historically only black and indigenous life. The juxta positioning of the Afro-Indigenous identity and the landscape employs the social value of power in place, comparing aesthetic culture for tourist consumption and black and brown mobility via photographic access to the homogeneous context of latinidad; considering that most black latinos are not included in census propaganda.
