Alberto Vásquez Figueroa: Ebony

Ebony, deep black skin; a group that fought against the slave hunters, a tribute to those who fought for a better world and the desire to make the female voice heard. Ebony as a critic for the violations of the human being, of society and of the life system and the current structure.

A journey through the immense African desert, a political cause, an emotional and passionate motive of a photographer, accompanied by descriptions of the majestic and unfathomable desert landscape in which “the day was of the sun, and the night of the wind. The sun was quiet, but the wind moaned, cried, hooted, sighed."

And, at the same time, the deep presence of the world's miseries: ‘tribal’ wars, extermination and torture, misery, corruption, drug trafficking, inequality, marginalization and, above all, trafficking in human beings who had sadly been turned into merchandise.
