Recent developments and intervention by the Trump Administration have brought our attention back to Latin America. There is a long history of U.S. invasions, coups and other interventions in the region which are important to know as we try to understand the news and the people whose lives and land our government is again disrupting. For many years, Jonathan Moller has photographed communities uprooted by war in Guatemala. His work tells stories of their struggles for survival, respect, and honesty. He will share his photographs and words to help us get to know the land and its history, and the humanity and dignity of the people there.

Jonathan “Jonás” Moller is an award-winning documentary photographer and human rights activist. Since 1991 Moller has worked mostly in Central America (primarily Guatemala), as well as in Peru and Cuba. He is the author of two books on Guatemala, a book about Peru, a book about the diversity of young Cubans today, a book about Black Lives Matter in 2020, and his most recent book, In Transit: In the Company of Strangers, published in 2024. Moller’s work is in numerous public and private collections and he has exhibited and spoken widely in the United States, Latin America and Europe. Moller’s photographs have been used by many NGOs for educational and advocacy purposes including the Soros Foundation, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
