Thank you @hyperallergic for inviting me to speak my mind on my decision to remove a portrait of Cesar Chavez from the exhibition. I curated, Chicano Camera Culture: A Photographic History at @thecheechcenter. Link to story in comments.
22 May 2026
🌟 OPENING SOON
The Cheech: February 7th – September 6th
Riverside Art Museum: February 7th – July 5th
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.
Featuring some 150 works by nearly 50 U.S. Chicana/o/x artists, the exhibition traces photography’s role from its activist roots in the 1960s to expansive contemporary expressions today. Traditional and experimental works invite viewers to consider the camera’s enduring role in shaping self-representation, cultural identity, and political expression.
Curated by Elizabeth Ferrer @evferrer, the exhibition includes trailblazers such as Louis Carlos Bernal, Luis C. Garza, George Rodriguez, and María Varela, who are presented alongside innovators of the 1980s and 1990s—including Kathy Vargas, Ricardo Valverde, Christina Fernandez, and Ken Gonzales-Day—and contemporary voices Star Montana, Arlene Mejorado, Thalía Gochez, and Eduardo L Rivera.

With photographer Yolanda Andrade and gallerist Spencer Throckmorton. We’re all in LA for the opening of exhibitions of Chicano and Mexican photography at the Getty. But first, a wonderful day touring LACMA’s incredible new building.

Chicano Camera Culture will soon close at the Cheech so I’ll be heading to Riverside tomorrow 9/29 for a meet & greet and book signing (2-4 pm). All are invited! Thanks to the enormously dedicated staff at @thecheechcenter for helping me realize this ambitious project and of course to all the photographers included in the show. Your work moves me in so many ways. I’ll never forget our opening in February which brought together Chicano photographers from throughout the US active since the mid 1960s to the present day.

Imágenes de la instalación Discos Paisa de Arturo Meade, presentada en BRIC Brooklyn como parte de la exposición Art Into Music, curada por Elizabeth Ferrer en 2014.
La obra, compuesta por una serie de intervenciones sobre discos encontrados, explora las múltiples capas de la identidad cultural mexicana a través de referencias visuales y sonoras. Posteriormente, Discos Paisa fue exhibida en el Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil en 2015, por invitación y bajo la curaduría de Guillermo Santamarina.
