Last week, the 8th Annual Latin American Foto Festival came to its official conclusion.

We were honored to co-sponsor the festival with the Bronx Documentary Center, which spotlights award-winning and emerging photographers from across Latin America, and features in-person workshops, community tours, panel discussions, concerts, and other community events. This year’s program focused on displacement, resilience, and community power.

Exhibitions for the festival began at the Bronx Documentary Center and throughout the Melrose neighborhood in the South Bronx. Then, as part of our Liberation Summer programming, we brought outdoor exhibitions to additional community spaces across Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. This year’s festival was curated by Cynthia Rivera and Michael Kamber. We hope you were able to catch some of the exhibitions and will join us again next summer!
