Horacio Marquínez: America Unfiltered

Opening Reception Sunday, June 23rd, 3-5pm, following a screening of the film “America Unfiltered” 12:30 pm at the Yale Art Gallery

At the height of the pandemic, two immigrant filmmakers – one from Panama, the other from Russia – journeyed across the United States uncovering an unfiltered, unflinching portrait of America. What if we could better relate to one another and heal our nation’s divides by seeing that we share so much beneath the surface? What if we found the courage to ask questions and just listen, overpowering our natural instinct to react?
Seeking to build empathy amidst a fractured country and uncertain future, America Unfiltered sets out on a cross country journey to photograph people and record their stories about what it means to live in America today. Arising from a series of raw and emotional encounters touching on topics from politics and race to love and immigration, the film and accompanying photography exhibition present an unvarnished vision of our shared humanity and engender hope for our country’s next chapter.
