A Conversation with Adriana Loureiro - Paradise Lost

Adriana Loureiro Fernandez is a freelance photojournalist currently based in Caracas, Venezuela. Focusing on social conflict in Latin America, her work has been featured in The New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Los Angeles Times, Der Spiegel, NPR, and Reuters, among many others. She is currently a frequent contributor to The New York Times.

Adriana will discuss life as a photojournalist, her ongoing project, Paradise Lost, which documents Venezuela for the last 10 years. Venezuela is one of the Latin American countries with the least media presence, with a dictatorship that tightened its grip on power, and a monthly inflation rate of 40%. Documenting the country as it is today has never been as challenging. Fernadez is among a handful of photographers living and working in Venezuela. She will also discuss LSI’s Women in Photography grant.
