Description

This exhibit focuses on a portfolio of 79 photographs, shown in full for the first time in more than 40 years, by the Bronx-based collective En Foco, whose founding members, Charles Biasiny-Rivera, Roger Cabán and Felipe Dante, each tackle a subject: education, small business and labor. The images are a testament to the City’s Puerto Rican population and its experiences. The show includes posters, exhibition catalogues and other ephemera related to En Foco’s history.
