The histories of these
communities have formed the backbone of Cuba, and yet they are rarely depicted in photographic
representations of the country. Sharum began researching Campesino communities in late 2015
and his resulting black and white photographs depict the intertwined relationship of people and
the land they depend on.
Richard Sharum is a documentary photographer based in the Dallas, Texas area whose work
focuses on socio-economic or social justice dilemmas. His work has been exhibited in Kyoto,
Japan; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Reggio Emilia, Italy; New York, and Dallas, US and is held in both private
and public collections. He has been commissioned by The Meadows Foundation, Harvard Law
School, Children’s Cancer Fund, Notre Dame School, and Family Gateway, amongst others. His
photographs have been featured in numerous publications including The Atlantic, Texas Monthly,
The New York Times Lens Blog, PATRON, The International Business Times, Glasstire, and Spacing
Toronto Magazine. In 2015 and 2016, he initiated the Observe Dallas Project, an outdoor exhibition
which served as a catalyst for a city-wide conversation on the homeless population, and for which
he was awarded the Cultural Projects Grant. He was a finalist for the ICP / GOST First Photo Book
Award in 2019 and became a XXXII Eddie Adams Alumnus in upstate New York.
