Las Fotos Project presents Michelle Montenegro: Fotos y Recuerdos

Fotos y Recuerdos: Guatemala in Los Ángeles, presented by OXY ARTS and Las Fotos Project, explores the importance of community image making and archives. The exhibition features over 100 personal photographs submitted by community members who are part of the Guatemalan diaspora in Los Angeles, the largest community of its kind outside of Guatemala. Alongside the community archive are original photographs, personal family archives and installations by Michelle Montenegro, an LA based Guatemalan American photographer and Las Fotos alumni and mentor. Together these works document diverse stories, touching on themes of migration, historical contexts, community preservation practices, and the power of storytelling.
