- Summary:
- The photobook Free Convict is a work on imprisonment and the Venezuelan prison system, it has also been on the roots, causes and consequences of the cycle of violence that has devoured the country in recent years. It has been, and still is, about Hip Hop and youth, about education, inclusion, and culture. Through photography, documents, interventions, collages and collaborative work this book aims to interconnect the dots of childhood, adolescence, education, exclusion, family, the mirage of power and aggressive masculinity and the reality of fast death or hard work for self-redemption. And how these young men living in a system that sees them as a lost cause, and with all the odds against, built and developed their own plan for reinsertion to freedom from incarceration.
