Nuyorican Photography as Poetics: Diasporic Collage and the Loving Vision of Frank Espada
About this Event

Celebrate the work and legacy of photographer Frank Espada with his son & Poet Martin Espada alongside a multi-generational cohort of acclaimed Nuyorican photographers including Máximo Colón, David Gonzalez, and Erika P. Rodriguez!


Nuyorican photographers have long sought to document and preserve Puerto Rican history in the city and beyond. Their talents have gifted us some of the most inspiring, heartbreaking, and indelible images of the 21st century. Bringing together the visual and the poetic, this event honors the legacy of Frank Espada and the practice, vision, ethics, and futures of Nuyorican social documentary photography.


Diasporic Collage: Puerto Rico and the Survival of a People, on view in the CENTRO Gallery, is on view through September 25th. Click here to learn more about the exhibition, dates, and hours.
