Inter-Foto started in 1979, as part of an initiative of a group of young photographers, in many cases, militants from Vanguardia Revolucionaria (VR), who published their images on "Amauta", the "Semanario de los Pueblos Jóvenes y de los Trabajadores" since the year before. The exhibition is a compilation of the work of photographers Carmen Barrantes, Gilberto Hume, Ernesto Jiménez, Elisa Alvarado, Alvaro Villarán and others, who preferred to remain anonymous so as not to be exposed to possible reprisals of the then military dictatorship of General Francisco Morales Bermúdez. "The images of the back cover and cover of this book present two key situations to approach the visual production of Inter-Foto: on the one hand, images of the daily life - the crowd on the street - and on the other, the political institution - in this case the Constituent Assembly of 1978 - images contrary to the press committed to the military dictatorship" (HKB Translation) --Page 11.
