PRAISE

The 2017 Tim Hetherington Fellowship is awarded to Erika Diettes!

"Some artists are by vocation gravediggers. Much of Erika Diettes's work can be regarded as the fabric of an extensive and intimate shroud with which to wrap, consecrate, bid farewell, and provide a final resting place for bodies not yet laid to rest... . Despite the dark background from which [the photographs] emerge, these images project a kind of radiance in that they transmit the agony of an era and accounts of life in that era."
— Ileana Diéguez, from "Erika Diettes: Images in Mourning"
