DESCRIPTION:

Mexican photographer, Dulce Pinzón’s socially charged, comic-book images reveal the New York City-based, Mexican immigrant in a satirical documentary style, featuring ordinary men and women in their work environments donning superhero garb.  In doing so Pinzón raises questions of both our definition of heroism and our ignorance of and indifference to the workforce that fuels America's ever-consuming economy.  These compelling images will be exhibited beside her subjects’ superhero costumes.

Gallery hours: Wednesday-Friday 11am-5pm, Saturday 11am-3pm, and by appointment
