When making images, viewfinders enable photographers to see, compose, and focus. Latinx immigrant artists are also themselves view finders — challenging perceptions, redefining realities, and reshaping the world around them. This multimedia collection of recorded conversations and photographs features works by Silvana Agostoni, Sebastian Alfonzo, Mikha Dominguez, Martha Gabriela Driessen, Selma Fernández Richter, Nicolas Jaramillo, Andrés Pérez, Rio Pérez, Lucino Sosa, Xavier Tavera, and Irving Vazquez. Viewfinders/ Miradores is presented by Serpentina Arts and curated by Sebastian Alfonzo, Maria Cristina Tavera, and Jessica Lopez Lyman.
