Jennifer Cabral | Rio/Mine

Real Photo Show with Michael Chovan-Dalton

Jennifer Cabral is an artist and Library Collection Photographer. Jennifer took part in a group show at the JKC Gallery, curated by me and Ryann Casey, titled The Road Home. Jennifer shared work that included the project, Mine_IRA which explored the trauma of the destruction of homeland caused by industrial mining as well as the trauma from experiencing sexual abuse. This work has continued in a trilogy of projects that we discuss on the show. This is the first episode to include a new bonus segment called, Two Photos that Changed Me, in which the guest will talk about two photos they made that affected them greatly in different ways. This bonus content is linked below at the Real Photo Show YouTube channel.

Mild trigger warning: While sexual abuse is mentioned in this episode, we do not go into any details of the abuse.
