Raul Gutierrez - Travels Without Maps, Images from China's Western Frontiers at the Nelson Hancock Gallery
From the website: Over the course of fifteen years Gutierrez has been visiting and documenting life in the deserts and mountains along China's Western borders focusing on Tibetan and Uyghur communities. These remote frontier regions are laced with contested geographies, with religious and cultural legacies confronting powerful economic and political transformations. The subjects, whether they are students in a Tibetan nomad school, a young couple posing in a rural photo studio, or a Muslim goatherd on the road, offer intimate views of individual lives as well as poetic symbols of broader cultural transition. Each photograph is a record of a world being erased by modernity.
