Voces de Latinas 101 Women Photo Exhibit in Five Sites

Join the Austin History Center, the Austin Public Library and partners, The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center, Mexic- Arte Museum and the Nettie Lee Benson Library Collection at the University of Texas at Austin as they feature the contributions, achievements and legacies of 101 local Latina women in a photo exhibit entitled 'Voces de Latinas: A Photo Exhibit in Five Parts.'

The exhibit offers a mosaic blending of images and biographical narratives of Latinas of the late 1800's to the present that represent all walks of life in five sites.

All Latinas in the exhibit were nominated by the community at large and the images and biographical information was donated to the Austin History Center by friends, family and other community individuals for use in the exhibit. The Austin History Center encourages the community to preserve and document the countless members of our community whose legacies deserve to be noted in the chronicles of Austin history for future generations.

The exhibit will open on September 25th with an opening reception at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center from 2-4pm at 600 River St. It is free and open to the public. The keynote speaker will be Marta Cotera.
