You're invited to see Lena's new work documenting Chicano culture at the Museum of the Living Artist at Balboa Park - Reception June 13, 2008 from 6pm to 8pm!
Lena's new photo entitled "Red Velvet," will be on display.
Here's Lena's statement about the piece: "The Lowrider is alive and well in San Diego as shown here at the Chicano Park Festival where hundreds of these intricately detailed cars were on display. This tradition is a uniquely Chicano invention that merges art, religion, fashion, recreation and family values. The name Lowrider was coined when large families of Mexicans riding in the car caused it to sink low to the ground. Oftentimes, the Lowrider is a family project where brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles and children share responsibility for design elements such as air brush detailing, hydraulics, engine restoration, upholstery and accessories. The Lowrider is a cultural statement about a way of life that values family, relaxation, artistic expression and the pride of being uniquely Chicano without ever selling out who you are..."
