Lens Panel @ PhotoHouse
Grab a friend or two and come engage with the Len Panel discussion at PhotoHouse!
The NOVA24 team is meeting up with visual artists at PhotoHouse, a studio, workshop, and hangout spot that’s established itself as a true home for Detroit’s community of creatives. Artists Rachel Elise Thomas, Sebastian Rivera-Mendoza, and Christopher Jarvis will be lead in a discussion about living as a lens based artist in our community by the House’s own Xavier Cuevas, better known as Barelyhispanic. Barelyhispanic is a Detroit-born lens based visual artist that showcases his love for his friends, his home, and his Puerto Rican heritage through beautifully grounded depictions of the city and its people. As the founder of PhotoHouse, Cuevas works towards balancing and embracing both sides of his identity as he tells his story, and helps others tell theirs, too.
