Accion Latina: “Otra Onda/Otra Vez” Photo Exhibition (Opening Reception)

Acción Latina presents “Otra Onda/Otra Vez”, a revival of the groundbreaking 1981 exhibition “Otra Onda”, opening Friday, August 14, from 5:30 PM to 9 PM at the Juan R. Fuentes Gallery in San Francisco’s Mission District. Organized and curated by photographers Lou Dematteis, Joe Ramos, Gato Rivera, and Acción Latina, the exhibition brings together original photographs by all 19 photographers featured in the 1981 show. The original exhibition was organized by René Yañez at Galería de la Raza. It was the first of its kind to document lowrider culture in a gallery or museum setting. Forty-five years later, the exhibition returns to give a new generation the chance to see this history. The San Francisco Lowrider Council will display cars during the opening, connecting the photographs from 1981 with the culture as it lives on today. Lou Dematteis, Joe Ramos, and Gato Rivera will be in attendance.
