Nuestro objetivo es la creación de proyectos de comunicación para el desarrollo social y cultural en comunidades indígenas y afrodescendientes en el estado de Oaxaca, pensamos que por la brecha digital existente entre pueblos y ciudades, existe una limitación en el acceso a las diferentes tecnologías de la comunicación y la información, nuestro objetivo es facilitar el acceso a los usos y benefici
os de los diferentes medios de comunicación, a través de la gestión e implementación de talleres, capacitaciones, producciones, exposiciones y demás expresiones comunicativas y artísticas que compartan un beneficio social y cultural entre niños, jóvenes y adultos. Porque creemos importante integrar visiones, miradas o perspectivas que permitan ampliar y compartir el conocimiento acerca de la cotidianidad compleja y variada que vivimos a diario en nuestro entorno, esto de una manera consciente, crítica y objetiva. Los que integramos el colectivo tenemos una cosa en común: la pasión por la justicia social y el arte, ganas de contar historias, transmitir o rescatar ideas, pensamientos, inquietudes o gustos a través de las diferentes herramientas que nos brindan los medios de comunicación.

*Lú'be Photography Collective:
Lú'be, a Zapoteco word that means eyes or vision, is a collective of professional and amateur photographers that started in Oaxaca; a land of cultural heritage rich in diversity deeply rooted in traditions, costumes and ancient languages that transcend borders. Lú’be is composed of photographers from a variety of origins within Oaxaca and Mexico, as well as internationally. We believe in the importance of integrating visions, worldviews and perspectives, which allow all us to amplify and share knowledge about life as it exists for each one of us, as evident through a conscious, critical and objective approach to photography. Our objective is to share our work, organize and participate as active citizens in our communities. We question cultural and societal norms, visually challenging concepts of politics, justice, human rights and freedom in a variety of contexts. We view the lens as a powerful tool and our principal medium in communicating ideas and experiences, with the capacity to tell important stories in a variety of culturally diverse and visually fascinating contexts. In spite of our differing backgrounds, professions, experiences and photographic expressions, the members that make up the Lú’be Collective have one thing in common: our passion for social justice and art; sharing ideas and thoughts; telling stories through the lens. There are many important stories to be told, these are a few of them. If you are interested in learning more, contact: [email protected].
