Chicano Camera Culture: A Photographic History, 1966 to 2026, is the first major survey to examine the depth and evolution of Chicana/o/x lens-based image-making over the past 60 years. Curated by Elizabeth Ferrer, the exhibition features some 150 works by nearly 50 U.S. Chicana/o/x artists, moving thematically and intergenerationally, spanning early activist photographers to contemporary artists whose work builds upon this powerful legacy.
Organized with a dynamic mix of traditional and experimental photography—including silver gelatin and digital prints, manipulated imagery, constructed scenes, photographic installations, and conceptual approaches—the exhibition invites viewers to consider the camera’s enduring role in shaping self-representation, cultural identity, and political expression.
