Alyx Kellington

Alyx Kellington, a photojournalist, has traveled over thirty countries to explore and document different cultures. Her photos have been widely published in newspapers, magazines and educational books.

In the early 1990s, Alyx was covering the economic changes in Mexico City when the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, the most southern state in Mexico, occurred. While recording the rebellion of both the Mexican military and the armed guerrillas, she explored the struggles of the women as mothers and soldiers. Amor y Dolor en Chiapas (Love and Pain in Chiapas) documents with photographs her experiences in Chiapas.
