Nanichi Oliva - Afro Latinidad | 020

Nanichi Oliva graces Photographer Life Check to talk about the intersection of photography, identity, and community, particularly focusing on the experiences of Afro-Puerto Rican identity as image makers in Los Angeles. Nanichi and Qurissy explore the rich tapestry of Caribbean and Afro-Latino culture, emphasizing the importance of family heritage, identity, and the evolving definitions of Blackness. They discuss the significance of silence in the creative process, the impact of language on cultural identity, and the legacy of ancestors. We didn’t have enough time to get into the image making portion but we hope this conversation still resonates.
