This event has ended.

“DOS GENERACIONES: MEXICO & NEW YORK” an exhibition of photographs by parents and children exploring cultural identity.

This project is curated by Andrea Arroyo and presented in collaboration with Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders.

The exhibit features photographs by three teams of parents and children who participated in the Intergenerational Photography workshop that ran as part of Mano a Mano’s cultural classes. The main purpose of this program was to bring together the first and second generation of migrant families by using photography as a platform for exchanging points of view, sharing feelings and exploring their cultural identities.

During the workshops, participants used disposable film cameras, thoughtfully capturing moments in their lives, relationships and environment, and generating a dialogue about the intricacy of life between two different cultures.

The exhibit presents a glimpse into the joys and complexities of the life of an immigrant family and celebrates the vitality of the Mexican community in New York City.
