Exhibitions
Since 2001, the photographer Nicola Lorusso (Florence, Italy, 1959), lives and works in Mexico City: one decade earlier he made trips that enabled him to nurture from the ethnic diversity of the country. One of those trips was to the mountain region inhabited by the Rarámuri people in Chihuahua. He was in the region several times.
In 2014, Lorusso visited the house where Erasmo Palma Fernández lived with his family, in the village of Tucheachi. In a dark room, the gift of word of that 86-year-old patriarch was revealed to the photographer. Soon he understood that through that word that knew how to turn into music, painting, and writing, it was manifested the imagination of a person as well as the myths and traditions of his ancestors.
The Guardian of Words is a photographic essay whose protagonist is Erasmo Palma, promoter and advocate of a culture that has receive all sort of attacks. Deceased in 2016, Erasmo was also a poet, composer, violinist, and author of over 600 songs in Rarámuri language and winner of the National Prize of Sciences and Arts on 2002. He is still present in the photos that make up this exhibition.
