I'm thrilled to announce that I have received a Staten Island Arts 2024 grant! This support will enable me to present a solo photography exhibition titled Mexican Heritage: Costumes, Masks, and Photos, featuring selections from my ongoing photo-documentary series on the local Mexican immigrant community, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.
This exhibit is made possible with the generous support of a DCA Art Fund Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs for 2024.
