Adeline Lulo
About:
Born in New York, Adeline Lulo has grown up between two places that are very dominant to the Dominican society. This has allowed her to experience a duality of cultures between Washington Heights, New York and the Dominican Republic. Her parents were born and raised in the Dominican Republic, migrating to the U.S. for the chance at better opportunities. Through her photographs, Adeline attempts to create a connection and understanding between the two places where she has experienced her nationality. The different themes conveyed throughout the work address family values, class inequity, access to health care and poverty.
Lulo was 1 of 160 selected out of 3,500 entries for the New York Times Lens Blog 2015 Portfolio Review. She was also honored with the 2014 William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship.(text and copyright website photographer)
