Join us in the Eric Fischl Gallery to celebrate the closing of "Sometimes While Growing Up, You Find Yourself".
“Sometimes While Growing Up, You Find Yourself” is a photographic journey into the heart of South Phoenix, capturing the vibrant tradition of Charrería through the lens of BrassTuna. Charrería, which is deeply rooted in South Phoenix, represents more than just a sport; it embodies a generational tradition that reflects the rich history of Mexican culture and community. This exhibition explores themes of cultural reclamation, identity, and community by documenting the stories of local participants. It showcases how Charrería serves as a vital link between generations. Through months of immersive collaboration, BrassTuna developed meaningful relationships within the community, enabling the creation of this body of work that highlights the narratives of the underrepresented sport of Charrería within the broader artistic landscape. The powerful imagery invites viewers to witness the dedication, skill, and passion that define this rich cultural heritage, revealing its enduring presence in the American Southwest.
