<h2>Selena Forever | Siempre Selena is
 a photographic exhibition featuring images by Texas photographer John 
Dyer, capturing Selena at a pivotal moment in her rise to stardom.</h2>
<h2>On View: June 4, 2026 – January 4, 2027&nbsp;</h2>
<a href="https://briscoemuseum.org/learn/upcoming-exhibitions/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Learn More</a>
This exhibition features intimate and 
striking photographs captured during Selena’s rise to international 
stardom in the early 1990s. The exhibition offers an intimate look at an
 artist whose talent, charisma and determination transformed Tejano 
music and helped redefine representation for Mexican American women in 
popular culture. The featured images have never been displayed together,
 giving new context to Dyer’s work with Selena.
More than a music icon, Selena was a 
groundbreaking Tejana whose story reflected the spirit of the American 
West itself: bold, resilient, entrepreneurial and deeply connected to 
culture and community. Like generations of Tejanos who helped shape 
Texas through perseverance, innovation and cultural pride, Selena forged
 her own path while carrying the traditions of her community forward. 
Her legacy continues to inspire new generations, embodying the 
pioneering spirit, creativity and determination that remain central to 
the story of the West.
“Selena’s story is deeply connected to 
the cultural pride and artistic expression that define Tejano identity,”
 said Jackson. “Her influence transcends music and continues to inspire 
audiences across generations, making her an important part of this 
broader cultural conversation. The exhibition shares an icon who 
demonstrates the lasting influence of Tejanos – and Tejanas – in Texas 
and beyond.
