Estefania Hidalgo
Estefania is a photographer and visual artist, born in Caracas - Venezuela.
She uses her perspective as an immigrant WOC to highlight other kindred spirit stories
about culture, gender, minorities and social constructs. She’s curious about finding untold
narratives and translating them into a visual form. As an artist, she’s interested in
photography as a bridge to understanding our feelings and opening discussions into
uncomfortable important topics.
Eugenic Doctor
This image is part of the series 'Good Birth: Part 1'. Good Birth is a visual exploration of Eugenics. The project is an attempt to understand Eugenics, its impact on society and the artist's personal connection to this dangerous pseudo-science.
Darwin's Ideals
Part of the series 'Good Birth: Part 1'. In the late 19th century, after reading his cousin’s book (Charles Darwin - On the Origin of Species), Francis Galton thought he could find a way to control natural selection in humankind.
Good Birth Tree
Throughout the process of 'Good Birth', Estefania continues to raise questions about the bias that exists in science, about power structures, and about the repercussions of the categorizations that humans have created in order to control the uncontrollable.
