Carlotta’s Passion Fine Art of Los Angeles hosted a panel discussion on essential literary and visual documentation of the Chicano Movement on Friday, June 29.

Photographers Oscar Castillo, Jesús Manuel Mena Garza, George Rodriguez and scholar Dionne Espinoza, Ph.D. headed the panel. This panel discussion took place during the exhibition Struggle and Liberation: Photographs of Seminal Events and Icons of the 1960s - 1970s. Hollywood Director Jesús Trevino moderated the panel.

The panel discussion examined the photography, events and issues of the Chicano Movement (El Movimiento Chicano of the late 1960s and early 70s). The audience stood up, asked questions and freely gave their perspective. In the end, the event proved to be informative and inspiring. More than 100 people attended.
