Reflecting on NAFTA to better understand TTIP
The Berlin Forum on Global Politics (BFoGP) is excited to announce
the launch of a collaborative photography project entitled “Reflecting
on NAFTA to better understand TTIP”.
Jonathan Florez, citizen journalist and photographer, captures in
this project the reflections of some of the people who attended a lecture and discussion on NAFTA and TTIP held
by México Via Berlin on 2nd May, 2015. BFoGP co-founders Daniel
Cardoso, Marc Venhaus and Miguelángel Verde Garrido were invited to
discuss the implications of TTIP, while Prof. Nayar López Castellanos
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) was invited to analyze
NAFTA and its consequences for Mexico.
The collaborative photography project is another contribution that
gives voice to those individual citizens who are frequently excluded
from the public debate on free trade agreements. The photographs of
those that attended the event feature statements that represent their
own takes on either NAFTA or TTIP or both of them. Each photograph is
accompanied by a brief explanation from the attendee on their statement
as well as by two recommended readings, which the BFoGP offers to those
of you who are interested in further exploring the topics that the
attendees are most concerned about.
