Omen offers a counter narrative by reframing the marginalized and forgotten, highlighting racialized power dynamics and systemic erasure of non-white stories. A collaboration between a Mexican editor and a Colombian photographer, the project involved re-examining over 20,000 FSA images from the New York Public Library. This act of artistic expression aims to retell the story from the margins, imbuing images with new meanings and challenging viewers’ perceptions. Set against the backdrop of the U.S.’s complex relationship with Latin America, Omen explores shared histories marked by imperial ambitions and cultural hegemony. The book confronts accepted narratives, adding complexity to our understanding of the American dream. It emphasizes viewing images through a lens that critiques racialized power dynamics and recognizes silenced voices.
