	 This exhibit was organized by Virginia Dodier who is a photography hi
	storian\, curator\, and director of the Carlsbad Museum and Art Center
	 in New Mexico.  Dodier\, a Mexican-American born on the border and ra
	ised in middle America\, like many other Hispanic women and girls\, ex
	perienced the feeling of living in two worlds. She organized Nosotras:
	 Portraits of Latinas to present positive images of women’s lives li
	ved “between here and the homeland.”\n\nNosotras (Spanish for the 
	feminine “us” or “we”) features 50 photographs\, both black-an
	d-white and color\, from eight emerging photographers documenting the 
	lives and culture of Latinas\, most first- or second-generation immigr
	ants to the United States. These striking images convey dignity and st
	rength in the faces\, families\, and traditions of multiple generation
	s. The exhibit will remain on display through Saturday\, June 21st.\n\
