Casa de Cultura Celebrates Immigrant Stories | Texas News

Photographer Violeta Alvarez is launching Casa de Cultura: The Living Archive, a two-month cultural residency celebrating her mother’s immigrant journey and honoring Latina and Chicanx voices in photography. Starting July 9 with her exhibition “Luz y Sombra,” the program includes 12 free events, live portrait sessions, art markets, workshops, and panels—all designed to uplift women of color in the arts. Alvarez, inspired by her mother’s resilience, aims to create space for underrepresented photographers and share stories of those who built new lives in America. The residency runs through August 22, blending art, music, and community in a vibrant tribute to culture and courage.
