Join us for a conversation with Marin County photographers Tim Porter and Lori Barra as they discuss their work documenting children and families in Oaxaca, Mexico. In this evening event, Tim and Lori will tell stories and show photography in conjunction with their joint exhibition Our Oaxaca.
Inspired by their friend and mentor Mary Ellen Mark, Tim and Lori have spent nearly a decade forming relationships with and photographing families in Oaxaca. Revisiting regularly, nurturing connections, and building trust are integral parts of their photography practice.
