Words by Laura Cadena
comadres âmight as well be considered occultism. To be â
comadresâ is to have a furtive sisterhoodâ an intrinsically Latin American bond of friendship that emerges from the complicity that can only be born from shared spaces or shared circumstances for survival.
The spirit of being â
comadresâ is the animating force behind photographer Silvana Trevale and stylist Daniela Benaimâs latest collaborationâ a homage to the syncretic expressions of immigrant life. Featuring London-dwelling Latin American immigrants as models, the theme here is Migration as Alchemical Renewalâdeparting from the familiar and finding through displacement the exposures that kindle transformation, conversion, disintegration, entanglement, and growth.
