In the Los Teques area in the Caracas suburbs, hundreds of people wait, since early in the morning, to try to get basic products regulated by the government such as oil, sugar, milk or toilet paper. Government subsidized products have artificially low prices that made the production unsustainable and opened the way for corruption, scarcity, smuggling and a price distortion as high as 500% between official and black market prices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. At a demonstration in Catia, a popular area of Caracas’ west end, an elderly man protests against the shortage of food and calls for the presence of a government representative to discuss the local distribution of food as the subsidized products are in constant shortage or irregularly arriving to the beneficiaries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello, I’m Oscar B. Castillo (@eltestigo44), a Venezuelan documentary photographer working on subjects related to the causes & consequences of socio-political fractures & conflicts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our war is not only made of blood & fire, our war is an endless battle against ourselves. Our war is the hard but easy way, the "shoot first, ask after". Our war is proof of our inability to have a dialogue while coexisting with our differences. Our pain isn't only physical. The bullet pierced the flesh & lodged in the collective soul & is becoming impossible to remove. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In our war there are no sides, no defined camps in confrontation against the enemy. This is an all against all fight. This isn't armed conflict, even if there are weapons ready to shoot. This is not a narco-war, even if drugs come in & out of our ports & our brains. Here we don't have a coup d'etat but many people who want to take down a government that tried to take down another government. We don't have a famine, but people aren't able to find basic food or medicine. Our war is criminal, political, economic, social, moral, spiritual...maybe our war isn't even here yet. Maybe together we can prevent it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The 6 South American talents of the 6x6 Global Talent Program are taking over our feed!
