Larry Sultan – “Homeland”

2.photoireland.org/mb/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Canal-District-San-Rafael-2006-Web.jpg” alt=”A Photo by Larry Sultan- Hispanic migrants in the fields walking” width=”610″ /> Canal District San Rafael, 2006 From the series Homeland, “Katherine Avenue” by Larry Sultan

In his final body of work, completed shortly before he died last year, Larry Sultan photographed migrant Hispanic workers in the Bay Area of San Francisco, near where he lived. Often undocumented migrants, they gather at specific locations in the early morning – builders’ merchants, freeway off-ramps, etc – and stand around, hoping to be hired for the day. Larry would explain his purpose and hire them to act in his tableaux. Always set within a broader landscape, his Hispanic actors would occupy the margins of the American Dream, performing daily tasks outside the village, away from the homes, wandering in a homeland that excludes them.

Katherine Avenue’, by Larry Sultan, is published by Steidl, £45. The book accompanies an exhibition at Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne, Germany which runs until 22 August

Human migration- Human Genome Project Information

Genetic anthropology is an emerging discipline that combines DNA and physical evidence to reveal the history of ancient human migration. It seeks to answer the questions, “Where did we come from, and how did we get here?”

These studies provide a d

etailed snapshot of human genetic variation that will assist in answering the following questions:

  • How did we migrate and populate the world?
  • What impact has culture had on human genetic variation?
  • How have cultural practices affected our patterns of genetic diversity?
  • If humans share a recent common ancestry, why do we look different from each other?
  • Did extinct human species, such as Neanderthals, contribute to the current human genome?
  • How does the DNA evidence relate to the fossil evidence for human migration patterns?

P.a.p.-blog

This is Filip Spagnoli‘s blog about human rights – including political and economic human rights such as the right to participate in government (democracy being a subset of human rights) and the righ

t not to suffer poverty – seen from the perspective of politics, art, philosophy (hence p.a.p.), law, economics, statistics, psychology etc.

One of his posts contains LOTS of figures & facts related with migration. Here it is:
