Abriendo Los Cielos (Chacahua), 2025
35 mm giclèe print on Baryta paper
8 inches by 20 inches
Limited Edition of 10, Signed Front
Abriendo Los Cielos was created at the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Chacahua, MX at dusk on October 7 as Hurricane Priscilla made her way inland. Chacahua is a remote village in the Costa Chica, in Oaxaca State. The area is known for its beauty and the community of Afro-Indigenous people who have long called the area home. Before Mexico final abolition of slavery, enslaved Africans created fortified communities near tidal basins and the mangroves in Chacahua for safety and freedom.
This work is from "The Land Sings of A Dream," Niama Safia Sandy’s new series of experimental film photographs. The images offer abstracted, dream-like scenes connected to energetic resonance at indigenous and Global Black Diaspora historical sites related to liberation and cultural activity.
