The Davidoff Art Initiative presents Art In Lounges Program. The inaugural artist, Dominican Fausto Ortiz, focuses on photography. He is from the
Dominican Republic and is a member of Grufo, a Santiago-area photographic collective. Ortiz teaches photography at PUCM University (Santiago).
The artist says "My work is the result of living in and surviving a Caribbean context, where changes and geographical mobility are the norm. Art is the only democratic space for us as humans to discern and craft our ideas, regardless of socioeconomic level or political beliefs. It is the perfect platform to express your feelings towards certain situations that affect you deeply. Photography is the key that opens the door to that space and allows me to engage in a dialogue with my environment to express my point of view."
