Latinx Chicago Photography Student Competition
Monday, May 5, 5pm
Calling all amateur and burgeoning photographers at DePaul!
The DePaul Art Museum and the Center for Latino Research invite DePaul students to capture and showcase the vibrant and diverse Latinx community in Chicago. Whether through portraits, landscapes, street photography, or conceptual images, your work should represent the multifaceted experiences and contributions of the Latinx community in the city.
Two images will be selected and will be shared at a panel on Chicago Latinx Photography with artists Jonathan Michael Castillo, Teresita Carson, Juan Molina Hernandez, and Jonathan Vega, moderated by DPAM Curator Ionit Behar on Thursday, May 15 at 7pm at the DePaul Art Museum. Winners will be honored at the panel event, their photos will be posted in CLR and DPAM’s social media, and winners will also receive a catalogue of Christina Fernández’s work, and other DPAM and CLR goods.
