Mabel Jiménez connects to community through Visual Journalism
What happens when you push back against journalistic objectivity? What role do community papers play? How does connection to community affect how you can tell a story? Photographer, photo editor and CatchLight Mentor Mabel Jiménez and host Monika Aldarondo discuss these questions and much more. Mabel shares her experience photographing asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, her art residency documenting the COVID response in San Francisco and her family’s reaction to her choosing photojournalism as a career.
