At the Boathouse Gallery
July 16th - August 21st
OPENING SOON: Futuro Pasado is a two person art exhibition featuring Emilia Cruz and Rick Ortega. Curated by Jimmy O’Balles, Summer Bernal and Juan Escobedo, this exhibit explores the concepts of hybridity, historical culture, relationships and self-actualization and the work embraces the concept that culture can guide us into the future but continues to evolve as we build relationships and awareness with one another.

In order to navigate this exhibition in a responsible and safe manner,
Masks will be required for all in attendance including our vaccinated guests. Reservations are required for the opening reception on July 16, 5-8pm and the gallery is by appointment only throughout the
remainder of the show.

RSVP in advance!

The Ralph Lazo Project
Youth Theatre
The Ralph Lazo Project is a collaborative writing and theatre project involving youth (13-18) hosted by Plaza de la Raza via Zoom. Students research the story of Ralph Lazo, the young Chicano from Los Angeles who protested the imprisonment of his Japanese American friends and volunteered to be sent to Manzanar Internment Camp during WWII. The project includes field trips, oral interviews with living survivors, and will culminate in a play production, dramatizing the story and exploring the themes of Ralph Lazo’s journey which resonate with today’s society.
