Xiomara Castro and Daniel Zarazua
Pochino Press presents: Axiom Ethiopia Axiom: logical, universal truth. How does this relate to a place like Ethiopia? A country hugely significant to so many, yet largely misunderstood by outsiders. A country that has never been colonized, one of the first Christian nations, the Rastafari promise land, and the birthplace of humanity. Yet Ethiopia is currently experiencing a never before seen opening to globalization from business and governments of the "developed" world. On the streets of the capital Addis Ababa the economic boom is palpable as the city transforms on a daily basis. What will remain, what will change? |

These are questions photographers Xiomara Castro and Daniel D. Zarazua asked themselves while on assignment for Pochino Press in the summer of 2015. Join us for this visual and written exploration at Neon Raspberry.
March - June 2016 For more on Pochino Press, Xiomara or Daniel - check them out here. |
Wellspring: A Portfolio of Prints Celebrating Water
Just Seeds Artists Cooperative
"Even though water has supported our ancestors for millions of years, we can no longer take it for granted. It’s time to think hard about what we put in water, how we use it, and where and how we live. In creating the collection of images in Wellspring, we at Justseeds hope to further the dialogue about this elemental issue. Our hope is that these images will generalize to become a useful buoy in a sea of bad news. We know that this offering is just a drop. Much more will need to be expressed as we acclimate to our role protecting our precious water sources, embodying the hydrophilic, water-loving qualities that created us."
For more information on the Wellspring project or the work of the Just Seeds Artists Cooperative, visit them here.

Alvaro Lacayo
Multi-media Collage Growing up Catholic in the eighties, Lacayo's imagination was bombarded with religious icons and imagery and he has found as an adult that he seeks out these images in the world. These works question how to modernize conceptions of Catholicism, as well as highlight the science, sacred geometry and Pre-Judeo-Christian images that have always existed in Catholic imagery but were often denied.
