Silent Echoes

A publication which explores one of the darkest periods in Guatemala’s history: the Civil War and Genocide.

2/12

The Guatemalan genocide, also known as the Silent Holocaust, was a period of systematic violence, extermination, and repression against indigenous Mayan communities in Guatemala during the country's civil war, which lasted from 1960 to 1996. Despite its profound significance in Guatemala's history, the genocide remains relatively unknown beyond Latin America's borders.

I created the Silent Echoes publication with the intention of raising awareness about this historical period I wrote, designed, and did photography for the publication, which I combined with photographs I sourced externally. Throughout the publication, I interwove historical images of Guatemala with images I took of artisan crafts/objects made by indigenous Guatemalan artisans.
