Lorraine is a M.A. student in Latin American Studies at UNM.

In the summer of 2012, I conducted a seven week research project which included a study of the living conditions of migrants in Lima as well as ethnographic research with Indigenous ceramicists in the Amazon. I created this photo essay as a reflection of my research as I plan to build upon it in the near future.
