The University of New England\u2019s Biddeford Campus Ketchum Library Art Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition, ZERO ~ los desplazados de Colombia, photography in black and white by Robert Pennington, running from January 26 through March 1, 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZERO is an intimate study that examines the lives of Colombia\u2019s desplazados (displaced). It is a story about people; those who are disenfranchised and often invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latin America\u2019s oldest democracy is home to the world\u2019s longest-running civil war. And, after more than 52 years of conflict, currently has 6.9 million internally displaced persons \u2014 more than any other country on the planet. Equally disturbing is that no one knows! ZERO gives face and voice to los desplazados de Colombia. It is an exploration of life after displacement, a story about courage, resilience and the willingness to begin anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title, ZERO, surfaced while researching Colombia’s history with social stratification (16c.) and its current system of estratos (strata), which ranks people from six (highest) to one (lowest). The system was introduced in the 1980\u2019s as a way to identify and provide essential services at affordable rates to the poor. A system once designed to help poor communities has instead marginalized an entire class of Colombians. On one of my first trips to the barrio of Altos de la Florida in Soacha, I met un desplazado who said to me, \u201cI am strato ZERO!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
