The Bridge presents La Chureca, a photographic journey in the trash dump of Managua, Nicaragua, with Photography by Eric Kelley and Esther Havens.

La Chureca is a slang term for the city trash dump in Managua, Nicaragua, referring to a community of people who live and work there, “sifting” or “filtering” through the garbage daily… Real people, with brilliant smiles and vibrant souls, living amidst piles of burning trash, and next to polluted lakes—always looking for things of value to buy, sell, and trade—while under a constant pressure to survive.

This show is a benefit for Love, Light and Melody - 100% of all proceeds from the images sales will go directly to LL&M and provide education for children in the trash dump of Managua, Nicaragua.
