From early documentary work, through the multicultural discourse of the 1990s, to the most current works that mirror the contemporary art scene's global landscape, this exhibition, comprised of fifty-six striking images by forty-eight different artists, tells a powerful story, both local and universal. ABOUT EN FOCO (www.enfoco.org) En Foco's mission is to support the creation of work by photographers of diverse cultures, primarily U.S. residents of Latino, African, and Asian heritage; and native peoples of the Americas and the Pacific. En Foco makes their work visible to the art world while remaining accessible to underserved communities, using photography as a vehicle to raise awareness and promote cultural equity. This traveling exhibition is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, Canson Infinity, Archival Methods, and En Foco members and supporters.
