Thank you for your responses, Vinira!

Have been friends with Vinira for sometime and enjoy following her work. We share in common her response to question 11 in my photography mentor as well in the late Alani Cruz. With that and current world issues, she is a photographer of Uighur descent of which a quick Google search will inform you of their situation. In talking with her, I think for most it is easier to understand the Black Lives Matter movement in the US because there is some representation and at the end of the day everyone has some piece of black culture in their homes. However, the situation of Uighurs is different due to the lack of representation in which case they are all but suppressed. So hopefully through her perspective, her work will incline anyone to learn about their situation. As Gordon Parks said the camera can be used as a weapon against intolerance and the beauty we derive from photography is akin to literature as a vehicle for empathy.
