About The Exhibition

Exhibition Curator: Roberto Muffoletto

The VASA exhibition of two portfolios, “Santeria” and “Transgender” by American photographer Errol Daniels, presents a look into two worlds that many of us would never have the opportunity to experience. 

"Santeria" is a reportage on a Afro-Cuban religion and “Transgender” portrays people who have experienced social marginalization (the LGBQ community).  Daniels, as noted on his website, is drawn to people and situations that speak out with tradition, culture, and life.  His work ranges from tattoo parlors to boarding homes, with his most recent giving voice and image to those reentering society after incarceration

On VASA Exhibitions:

VASA Exhibitions over the years have provided a platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko.

VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural.  The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural.  As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools.  Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard.   Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).

VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.

VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
