This month's artist is Brisa Ceccon Rocha. The show is called "Hanging Out to Dry". Brisa was born in Curitiba, Brazil October the 22nd, 1982. At the age of 13, she moved with her mother to Mexico City where she still lives and studies International Relations at Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. Photography has been her passion since she got her first camera at the age of 7 years old, but never studied it professionally. She had her first shared exhibitions in High School and her first solo exhibition in 2004. This exhibition was a photo documentary of the economic crisis in Argentina called: "Del recuerdo a la resistencia: Retratos de una Argentina en lucha" (From memory to resistance: portraits of an embattled Argentina), and was exhibited in the Political Science Faculty of her University. After volunteering in Zapatista communities in January 2004, she organized and participated in an itinerant photo exhibition about these communities, which has been showed in different cities in Mexico and Venezuela. "Hanging out to dry" is her second solo exhibition but her first digital experiment as a photographer. She is now in Montreal for an exchange program with Concordia University which is about to finish... So she defines this exhibition as the perfect way to thank Montreal and to give back a little bit of all the things she received from this unbelievable city.
