GOSEE ART presents : Daniel Jack Lyons ‘Like a River’ – an anthropological exploration of identity, transformation and coming of age among communities in the heart of the Amazon

What sort of planet are we going to leave behind ? The debut monograph by Daniel Jack Lyons (appearing at Loose Joints Publishing) continues the commitment of the American artist to visualizing the social and political rights of under-represented communities. Lyons began working in the Amazon under the umbrella of Casa do Rio, a community-based organization that celebrates and supports the cultural lives of teenagers and young people living in the depths of the Amazon. Lyons particularly visualizes and empowers the trans and queer communities of the region, exploring how deep indigenous traditions and modern identity politics meet in the rainforest.

The publishing house tells us : “Lyons’ empowering images celebrate the perennial coming-of-age impulses to express and affirm one’s individuality, resilient here in the Amazon against a toxic mix of environmental degradation, violence, and discrimination. As another generation passes through the quotidian rites and rituals of adolescence, Lyons asks : what sort of world will they inhabit, and how much autonomy will they have over it ?”
