entry description
During the final months of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 Latin America experienced a series of protests at the regional level, which some called the ‘Latin American spring’, which demonstrated a situation of disagreement with the forms of government in the region and the situation that the citizenship lives. In Colombia, it begins on November 21, the day on which unions, students, indigenous people, African descent, social and womens movements, took the streets of the main cities of the Andean country. This marked the beginning of a few turbulent and violent months, which translated into hard confrontations between the riot forces and demonstrators. This serie of photographs reflects the chaos and fear experienced on that first day of protests in November 21.about the photographer
