WHAT IS PROJECT PLANTAIN?

 

PROJECT PLANTAIN is an art project currently in pre-production/development, recognizing the beauty of extreme cultural and political significance of the fruit in Central American countries, with both photography and film. Project Plantain highlights their beauty and vibrance in ABSTRACT colors/SHAPES with photography, acknowledging on the mass displacement that the fruit has brought upon Central America from the United States’ abuse of resources. 

 

In a 7-8 short film, and with visual photograph, this production will tell the story of how a fruit with such strong cultural value was turned into a weapon that caused severe displacement in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
