Los Heridos de Octubre
Los Heridos de Octubre, the Injured of October, are the victims of the massacre commited under the leadership of ex-president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada in 2003. Several social movements had blocked roads and places in the so-called Guerra de Gas, War of Gas. 68 people died, and more than 400 got injured under the bruta...l attack of Bolivia's Ex-Government. Although the Government changed with Evo Morales, many judges are still the same corrupt ones of these days. The Heridos de Octubre claim justice and Sanchez de Lozada to be passed back to Bolivia from the United States, to start the trial he deserves.
Sarah was born and raised in Germany, where she studied Spanish and Fine Arts (Painting and Photography). In 2005 she travelled to Latin America for the first time which was a turning point in her life. She went back to the continent many times and started photographing social issues in 2006, influenced by photographers like Paolo Pellegrin or David Alan Harvey. “To me, photography is a way to tell someone’s story. I am not interested in the big issues, but in the small stories of people anyone would listen to. To these people that let me be a part of their lives for a moment that can be a miserable, difficult or also euphoric one, I have a responsibility. “
