Via PanAm follows Kadir Van Lohuizen's footsteps from the very south of Chile to the very north of Alaska. Travelling almost 40,000 km overland along the Pan-American Highway and crossing through 15 countries, Van Lohuizen visualized the stories of the communities, regions, and societies he encountered. His work reflects a diverse range of migration experiences both historic and contemporary. The photo stories reflect the complexity of migration—the diverse motivations for coming and going, the struggles and successes, the economic, political, social, and environmental contexts, as well as the intimate moments and personal stories—some touching upon current issues, some on topics long forgotten but not resolved.
