Museum of Photographic Arts

Museum of Photographic Arts Visit 12/5/17 The visit to the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) was visually, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally stimulating. Sarayne, our guide, was warm and inviting. She gave us opportunities to talk about ourselves, learn more about each other, give our thoughts and opinions about what we saw, and how we interpreted what we saw. One of the current rotating exhibitions on display until 2/11/18 is called "Point/Counterpoint: Contemporary Mexican Photography" and features works created from 2000-2015. The photographs "reflect the cultural transformation currently underway in the country....and explore the intersection between perceived traditional Mexican culture and the actuality of contemporary life in Mexico." In addition to the visual displays, MOPA hosts a series of community conversations to bring together experts to speak about themes found in the exhibition. Upcoming discussions will be held on 12/14/17 and 1/18/18.
