Lotería: A Photographic Study of Latino Contributions to Our Community

The Durham Art Guild will host Lotería: A Photographic Celebration of Latino Contributions to Our Community just in time for National Hispanic Heritage Month. This exhibit features the work of local photographer, Anthony Garza, and brings dynamic portraits of members of our community into the visual world of lotería, an iconic game played throughout most of Latin America and the Caribbean. Through the portraits and accompanying profiles of the people featured in Garza’s work, from carpenters, lawyers, doctors, homemakers, authors, and rock stars, exhibit participants can explore the many ways that these community member’s complex histories and Latino identities bring richness, joy and deep commitment to our lives and our state.

The opening celebration on Saturday, September 6, from 5:30–9:00 p.m. will feature Descalza Designs fashion, a performance by the Takiri Folclor Latino dance troupe, photo ops with lotería characters, and festive Latin music and snacks.

On Friday, September 19, they will be hosting a lotería game night from 5:30-6:30pm and the mariachi group Viva México playing at 7:00pm.
