Announcement of Tanja Liedtke Award winner Daura Hernández
People holding things by Daura Hernández García
A woman opens the doors to you. She allows you to look inside, so that you can see the emotions that inhabit her, her darkness, her sorrows and her loneliness. She takes care of everything. But who takes care of her? Are we over-caring for others or are we letting them fade away? Are we aware of how we care for others? Who takes care of you?
This piece takes you on a journey inside this character, to discover in a glance what moves us to take care of us and others, to take care as a society.
