Opening Reception | Contemporary Afro-Mexican Photography
Join or the opening reception and public program for Visibility & Resistance: New Acquisitions, Contemporary Afro-Mexican Photography. The exhibition, curated by Dr. Dalila Scruggs, highlights the recent acquisition of contemporary Afro-Mexican photography by Hugo Arellanes Antonio (Costa Chica), Toumani Camara (Mexico City), Koral Carballo (Veracruz) and Dolores Medel (Veracruz). Historically shaped by photographers of European descent, this exhibition foregrounds the voices and vision of a multiplicity of afro-descendent identities as the photographers examine self-representation, highlight the presence of African cultural traditions, meditate on the (dis)connection to place, and critique the ongoing effects of slavery and systemic racism. All four photographers will be in conversation with opening remarks by Dr. Dalila Scruggs, exhibition curator, and a special presentation by artist and performer Baltazar Castellano Melo. The program will be available in English and Spanish.

Now, they open their private reading circle to the last libertines in New York. This won’t be a cozy time by the fireplace. We don’t talk to Reese Witherspoon. We don’t know Oprah.
