Artist Bio:
Samantha Cabrera Friend is a Chicago based visual journalist who uses photography to discover and explore the local histories, cultural practices, and social issues affecting many female-based communities. She is a graduate from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and is an independent archivist and curator. With a methodology based in historical and observational research, Samantha focuses on producing long form narratives and reporting on stories through the greater lens of the Latinx diaspora. In both editorial and ethnographic work, she views each subject as an integral thread of their local history and believes in the power of documenting the everyday occurrence.
