Venezuela 2013—2014
Since the death of President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela has been experiencing a period of deep tension, increasingly polarized between pro-Chavistas and the opposition. For years, the country’s identity has been shaped by two radically opposing visions of the world and of Venezuela itself. At this critical juncture, as the contradictions of Chavismo erupt under the leadership of President Maduro, the nation finds itself precariously balanced between diverging futures. This series captures everyday life in a moment of profound uncertainty, where the democratic future of Venezuelan society hangs in the balance.
