:: “Pride becomes not just a celebration of resilience, hope and solidarity, but a protest against the world that conspires to erase us through brutality and silencing.”

The pictorial rendition of history is a profound addition to the literature of liberation, rich in images “in which the viewer encounters the unfamiliar, the unexpected, and often the startling”.
:
An image is always, by itself, a valuable object, but its value increases if not reduced strictly to the physical gaze but to a “seeing”, which is also personal and complex where the “contemplated object acquires all its richness, value, and meaning”.
:
Emotions coalesce with the mind and the eyes, “a seeing that is integral”.
