From Monterrey, I travelled to Oaxaca in the south of the country to meet with Daniel Brena director of CASA.

Sitting up in the hills in Oaxaca, CASA is a stunning building, the evidence of it’s history as a textile factory can be found in some spaces where huge machines, too heavy to move, still sit.
Meeting with Daniel Brena, who I had previous contact with at the Centro Fotografico Manuel Alvarez Bravo in the city of Oaxaca http://www.cfmab.org/index.html , was an opportunity to find out about how CASA’s programme of photography is developing, discuss audiences and how this amazing space and location is used for learning and to learn more about those who participate in their programme, which is heavily orientated towards learning and professional development.
Hopefully we will design a photographically based project together in the future.
