| DESCRIPTION: | Currency / Exchange
showcases work made by Corcoran photography students in El Salvador
while enrolled in the seminar and travel course
“International Experience / Transnational Identity,” taught by Muriel
Hasbun, with the collaboration of Susan Sterner. Students Kathleen Altemus,
Julie Carrasco, Nick Kirkpatrick, Erika Nizborski, Jenny Yang and Michelle
Yo learned about the history and culture of the smallest Central American
country and its transnational community in the Washington, D.C. area
while exploring contemporary issues of migration, diaspora and cultural
identity. The photographs of Currency / Exchange speak to the
experience of translating a culture and attest to the
“currency” of images in the making of a cultural landscape. |
