The exhibitions Every minute is history: Five Views of Los Angeles and Instante/revelación: Moments in Mexican Photography feature representations of Chicano/a communities in Los Angeles and the cultural and artistic dialogues that have shaped Mexico's photographic history. Moderated by Elizabeth Ferrer, this panel brings together four contemporary photographers—George Rodriguez, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, Reynaldo Rivera, and Yolanda Andrade—to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and implications of working in Los Angeles and Mexico City.

Program will be in English with Spanish livestream available.
