Daniel Ramos: The Land of Illustrious Men
July 12 – August 10

Opening Reception: July 12 | 6 – 9 PM

“The Land Of Illustrious Men is a photo-novella of Ramos’s life as a son of working-class immigrants who came to America from Mexico in search of a better life. The series offers the viewer a glimpse of the personal story of each member of his family and reveals the nature of their relationship to one another. He also includes his own experience⁠—a childhood spent living between two worlds⁠—and his decision to reject the blue-collar tradition that was to be his presumed legacy in order to become a photographer. Although his particular journey is personal, this project is an expression of a larger story about immigration, cultural identity, assimilation, and class that is shared and felt by many.”
