12020-03-26T20:38:59+00:00Janire Najera1plain2020-03-26T20:38:59+00:00Janire Najera is a documentary photographer and multi-media artist based in Cardiff, Wales. Her multi-disciplinary project Moving Forward, Looking Back, documenting the lives of the descendants of early Spanish settlers on the Old Spanish Trail between New Mexico and California, was featured at Chapman in 2017.
The triptych displayed in this exhibition was created while Najera was a Scholar-in-Residence funded through a grant from the European Union. While Travelling Light is more conceptual than her earlier portraiture, the work is still rooted in her concerns with place, heritage, and history. Using digital, transient light installations imposed on images of the border landscape, Najera reflects on Donald Trump’s promise to build a 1,933 mile long wall across the US/Mexico border.
