Freisy González Portales

Freisy González Portales is a Venezuelan photographer, anthropologist, and musician. She was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1986, and in 2017 migrated to Peru. After four years, she returned home to Venezuela. Her works mainly focus on identity, memory, migration, and gender, with an interest in archives and research projects on anthropology and history. Her projects have been part of exhibitions in Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina and the United States. For her, photography is a door to feel, to search without fatigue, to feel emotions. Photography is a door to the life, experience, thoughts, and intimacy of people and their infinite geographies; which in turn allows a reaffirmation of her own identity.

A crumpled photo of a building is stitched in the middle with red thread, creating a visible seam. The image shows two doors and windows, with tree branches in the top left corner, against a dark background.
