Join the BDC for a book launch with author Carla Yovane, as she presents her photobook Tiempo de Vals. This event is held in partnership with Foto-Féminas, a platform promoting the works of Latin American and Caribbean women photographers.
Book Description:
During early 2018, I began portraying male prostitutes in Plaza de Armas in downtown Santiago, Chile. I talked to them, interviewed them and photographed them. Tiempo de Vals is a photographic essay portraying a rarely documented masculine world, capturing intimate and sometimes stormy moments with male prostitutes and their male clients.
