Martín Chambi created a comprehensive body of photographs from 1920-1950 of Andean culture and history, documenting archeological sites, native peoples, and local customs. His grandson, Teo Allain Chambi, also a photographer, has preserved an impressive archive of original glass plates, photographic images, and ephemera detailing his grandfather’s many awards and contributions. Mr. Allain Chambi will discuss Martín Chambi’s work and his mission to educate the public about this important Peruvian artist.
