Down These Mean Streets: Community and Place in Urban Photography

In celebration of the reopening of El Museo's galleries, this exhibit uses the lenses of 10 photographers to explore their subjects in tandem with the neighborhoods they're part of. Among the highlights are Hiram Maristany's and Winston Vargas' exploration of New York's historic Latino neighborhoods, Perla de Leon's look at the South Bronx and Oscar Castillo's examination of Los Angeles' urban renewal projects. Also featured is the work of Camilo José Vergara and Anthony Hernandez, who revisited the same neighborhoods over time to see the ongoing impact of changes.
