In a world where the relationship between humanity and nature seems to be in crisis, a visual proposal emerges that invites deep reflection.
This is “Miradas Sintientes”, a documentary photographic exhibition that seeks to challenge visitors about the need to build a more peaceful and inclusive society, where respect for wildlife is the central axis.
The exhibition, which has the institutional support of the Faculty of Law of the National University of Lomas de Zamora, has been made possible thanks to the management of its dean, María Fernanda Vazquez.
The academic framework of the faculty is not coincidental: the exhibition seeks to reinforce the idea that animals are sentient beings and not mere objects of consumption or property, a concept that is gaining more and more weight in the field of Animal Law.
Subjects of a life
The message of the work is direct and forceful: animals feel in the same way as humans. However, current human behavior tends towards predation, the destruction of habitats, and constant harm to the animal kingdom.
“Animals should not be considered objects, but subjects of a life,” assert the promoters of the project, emphasizing that, although there are laws that protect against animal abuse, there is still a long way to go in legislative and social terms.
A journey through endangered fauna
The exhibition is composed of more than 30 images captured with unique sensitivity. The main objective is for the public to become aware of the loss of biodiversity, focusing on emblematic species that are currently in critical condition, such as:
-
The Jaguar
-
The Maned Wolf
-
The Anteater
-
The Tapir
Each photograph is not just an artistic piece; it functions as an educational card that includes detailed information about the ecoregion each species inhabits, as well as its degree of vulnerability and the level of threat it faces in its natural environment.
Two years of documentary expedition
Behind each shot is an exhaustive fieldwork. Documentary photographer Sebastián Naón and general producer Agustín Pulido traveled Argentina from north to south and east to west for almost two years. This journey allowed them to document the richness of our fauna and, at the same time, witness the environmental pressures that animals suffer in the territory.
“Miradas Sintientes” thus presents itself as an invitation to pause, look into the eyes of those who share the planet with us, and reconsider our role as protectors of the ecosystem.
