From the Mother Tongue Shapeshifting & Reclaiming collection.
Nominated by Creative Director Ricardo Viramontes |
"Tierra del Sol is an important documentation of Mexican life in Los Angeles celebrating the living tradition of how Mexican communities sustain cultural identity, belonging, and generational continuity within the U.S. context." |
Tierra del Sol is a selection of photos from October 2021 documenting “El Classico del las Americas,” an annual week long charreada at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, considered the biggest event of its size. Jaramillo’s images depict contemporary charros and escaramuzas as they compete and socialize with one another in various suertes that collectively emcompass a single sport - a sport uniquely designated as the official national sport of Mexico.
