In 2001, Trotter began photographing in Mexico for his project No Agua, No Vida about the human alteration of the Colorado River. He has photographed along the entire 2,250 km length of the river, from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to the desiccated remains of its delta above the Gulf of California. He has lived in New York City since 2000, and in 2017 became one of the founding members of the collective, MAPS Images.

Congratulations to Robert Pluma for being selected for CENTER’s Excellence in Multimedia Storytelling Award recognizing his project, Hidden Histories of San Antonio. The Excellence in Multimedia Storytelling Award recognizes outstanding storytellers using lens-based media to create narrative-driven projects. The award is open, but not limited to, photography, video, new media, photojournalism, installation, and web-based works.

Robert Pluma is the recipient of the 2024 Multimedia Award. His project, Hidden Histories of San Antonio, reexamines the stories many thought we knew and shows how our understanding can be significantly deepened when viewing them through a different lens. At its best, multimedia can engage the audience to understand a story in a deeper, more profound way, and Pluma’s project interweaves his own family’s story with portraiture, testimony, and 3D scanning of primary objects to retell this historical narrative in a fresh way. Hidden Histories of San Antonio was in some ways the most ambitious project submitted from a multimedia perspective, but what drew me into it was seeing how Pluma’s explanation centered the participants—the most important part of any narrative.

The Yunghi Grant judges are especially mindful of photojournalist’s growth: personally and professionally. Many applicants have applied several times before; even though you might not have won this year, continue to do so as often stories develop a critical mass over time. The perseverance and resilience to take a story to its conclusion, or nearly so, is always noted by the judges.
