The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery (located at 1632 U Street, NW in DC) will have the opening of The Real Story of the Superheroes, featuring photographs by Mexican photographer Dulce Pinzón.
This exhibition introduces the Latino immigrant in New York in a satirical documentary style featuring ordinary men and women in their work environment donning superhero garb. In doing so, Pinzón raises questions of both our definition of American heroism and the ignorance of and indifference to the workforce that fuels our ever-consuming economy.
The exhibition runs November 4 - 28.
