Photo Essay Pitch Joel Bautista

My photo essay pitch:
One of the last Bolivian restaurants in New York is “Bolivian Llama Party”. Opening in 2012, it’s been recognized for its innovative take on Bolivian Cuisine. It is a place where Bolivians still have a chance to try foods that from their homeland and introduce non-Bolivians to the unique tastes of Bolivia. Other bolivian restaurants like“Puerta Del Sol” have closed. Others like “Civecheria NYC” have geared towards more Peruvian cuisine. Keeping the Bolivian spirit isn’t easy when you have all eyes on you to keep the community alive. I hope to capture a day in the workplace and interview the owners, 3 Bolivian Brothers, about their efforts to keep the community unified despite the lack of Bolivian recognition in New York.
Being Bolivian myself, this restaurant is deeply important to me. It is the closest thing to a Bolivian community I can identify with, and I know from talking to other people of Bolivian descent that they feel the same way.
