Opening Reception: From SA to SA

Join us on August 10, 2023 from 6pm to 9pm for the opening reception of From SA to SA: An Exhibition of Pan-American Documentary Photography at the Centro de Artes Gallery.

This exhibition, curated by Guillermina Zabala, encapsulates the astonishing power of documentary photography as a direct representation of our realities and as a force of social change. Presenting Pan-American documentary photography with over 200 remarkable works from 20 award-winning Latin American and Latinx photographers living in South, Central and North America. As an art form and as a journalistic medium, documentary photography captures a straightforward glance and accurate portrait of society with the artistic touch from the photographers’ lenses. The subjects, places, and situations portrayed in this exhibition are vivid, present, and emerge from social challenges with themes that range from immigrant stories and the effects of the COVID pandemic, to the fight for women’s rights, social unrest, and indigenous realities. Expanding throughout the Americas and representing more than 15 regions, From SA to SA brings seldom told stories from the Latinx experience through poignant, poetic, and everlasting photographic imagery.
