AMERICANO: Photo Documentary Book resulting from a 35 000KM Motorcycle Journey Across The Americas

AMERICANO

Between November 2014 and October 2015, Icompleted a solo motorcycle journey from Montral, Canada to Ushuaia,Argentina, followed by a ride up to Buenos Airesand a relay by bus through Uruguay and Brazil, thus covering a total distance of 35 000 kilometers by land through 18 countries.Using photography as a focal point for engaging dialogue with locals. Icoordinated the production of a collective documentaryproject that gathered the participation of over 150 people from all the countries Ivisited:

Having now returned home to Montreal,I would liketo synthesize the results from my travels across the Americas withinaPhoto Documentary Book. This 200 colour pages, Coffee-Table style book willcontainPhotographic Interviews and Stories of the people I have met, along with more personal reflections on notions such as pluralism, intercultural solidarity andcollective identity.

My hope is that this book becomes a sort of vehicle by which you may also explore, dream and discover The GreatAmericas!

 

What are the funds for?

Why Crowdfunding?

Because printing a 200 colour page book, locally in Canada,requiresa significant financial commitment!

Through your contributions and pre-orders. I will be able tobenefit fromeconomies of scales in terms oforder volume, whilealso making sure thequantity of books printedreflectstrue audience interest!

The objective of this crowdfunding campaign is thereforeto support the production and costs related to printing the book.

The profits generated from this campaign will be used to finance a photo exhibit to be held in Montreal in the Summer of 2016, as well as speaking engagements in the community around themes such as Cultural Diversity, Intercultural Learning andGlobalCitizenship in the context of the Americas.

 

A Photo Exhibit in Montreal:

My objectiveis to organize the second edition of aPhoto Exhibit titled “Qu VesCuandoMe Ves” (What do you see when you see me) which I had the opportunity to presentin Buenos Aires, Argentina lastSeptember/October 2015. My goal is to createan opportunity for the community to interact physicallywith the photographs, the stories they capture, as well as witheach other:

Pictures taken from the “Qu Ves Cuando Me Ves” exhibit organized with thesupport of theEmbassy of Canada to Argentina and the Cooperativa de la Imagen in Buenos Aires.
