LUVIA LAZO
Houston, Texas 2026
Luvia Lazo is a Zapotec photographer from Oaxaca, Mexico, whose work explores identity, memory, and the passage of time within Indigenous communities. Through an intimate, poetic visual language, she portrays the worlds she belongs to, creating constellations of images that reflect generational change and the transformation of the body and cultural traditions. Her photography focuses on everyday life, elders, and the emotional landscapes of belonging and disappearance. In series such as Hiding Faces, Lazo reflects on the moment when presence begins to fade, a concept rooted in her native language, honoring those who sustain community memory. Lazo’s work has been exhibited internationally and has been recognized for its deep cultural resonance and contemporary perspective on Zapotec life. She continues to live and work in Oaxaca, documenting the evolving narratives of her people.
KANITLOW There is a word in Zapotec that we use to name the fact of someone or something disappearing, when a close friend is not close anymore, when someone stops visiting as often as they do, when things transform and change, or when someone is getting blind, that is KANITLOW, which means FACES ARE GETTING LOST or DISAPPEARING. The photographs here are sparks of my culture resisting and coexisting with modern elements, the subtle ways elders embody these elements as their own, and, at the same time, I am creating a record of grandpas' and grandmas' photographs, so that when they are gone. Their grandchildren look for them as I look for my grandpa now in old pictures; they can find them in photographs and read time, context, and their bodies, but also the way our culture was and resist.
