CURRENT MISSION To use media for social change ABOUT ME I was born in Mexico City. I am a social researcher, journalist and photographer. For the last 16 years, I have focused on documenting stories related to immigrants, human rights and lifestyles. I am a professor of Sociology and visual Anthropology at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and director of the Multimedia Laboratory for Social Research, also at UNAM. I’m now researching about Zen and art.
