FALL 2025 CULMINATION: Resistencia Y Orgullo
Celebrate LFP Artists at their opening reception
Resistencia y Orgullo is a photography exhibition by Las Fotos Project artists that explores identity, cultural memory, and the everyday spaces that shape how we present ourselves in the world. Created in Los Angeles, the work reflects pride, resilience, and the power of claiming one’s own story through image-making.
This exhibition brings together photographs from artists enrolled in our Esta Soy Yo, Digital Promotoras, and CEO classes. The exhibition also features work by our Angel City FC Artists in Residence, who train in sports photography and visual storytelling. Together, the work highlights personal histories, community landscapes, and artists asserting themselves as professional storytellers.
The exhibition opening is made possible with the generous support of Angel City FC and NYX Professional Makeup. We are grateful to our partners for helping create space for our artists and their stories.

LFP Fundraiser: Breathe and Pause
Take a moment to reflect on your rest practice, release narratives that no longer serve you, set intentions, and simply breathe. In a world that keeps us moving, this gathering at Las Fotos Project offers a space to pause, process, and restore in community.
Estoy Aquí - Opening Reception
Cuando era pequeña, mi mami siempre mantuvo mi cabello largo. My mom would tenderly brush my long, flowing hair. Algunos días me peinaba en coletas pero casi siempre me hacía dos trenzas. A veces para proteger mi cabello, otras para vestirme como la niñita que era. Casi todos los días me sentaba junto a mi abuela y admiraba sus manos y como trabajaba para terminar los petates.
Queer identity lives in a battlefield, a canvas marred by never belonging and never being able to just be. I paint with the colors of my experience, each brushstroke a reflection from my journey. Inconscientemente le he otorgado colores específicos a las personas que han formado parte de este proyecto.
Male-presenting bodies have blues and pinks. Los cuerpos de mujeres (como el mío) contienen rojos. Women are enveloped in fiery reds. Cada color y curva es un testimonio de la valentía de la experiencia humana y la belleza de aceptar quiénes somos en el amplio espectro de nuestras identidades — the delicate negotiation between the internal self and the identity we wear.
Through photography Estoy Aquí explores femininity, cultural identity and how comfortable we are within it.
