Descripción del Artista

Born and raised in Dominican Republic, Erika Morillo is a freelance documentary photographer and artist based in New York City. She studied clinical psychology and sociology, which influenced her to photograph as a way to understand her family dynamics and the social environment she inhabits. Her work focuses on the issues of family, inner city life and the finding of identity. Her photographs have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally. She lives in Manhattan with her son Amaru. Statement The main driving force behind my work is investigating my genealogy and how family history intersects with self identity. I explore these issues through documentary and vernacular photography, writing and performance.
