La Pulga is photo series that centers working class Latina/o communities of San Antonio, Texas in 2016 through various portraits and environmental photographs. Pulgas, flea markets, mercados, tangius, and swap meets are safe spaces for migrant families, centers of work and commerce, and cultural hubs. La pulga is a place of convergence — socially and culturally as people, the salt of the Earth, engagement, perform, and cultivate community. These photographs reflect people that shape the historical foundation of San Antonio: in the plugas that exist on the edges of the city.
