FotoSoCal is a constellation of exhibitions that brings together over twenty community college galleries and affiliated spaces across Southern California, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Orange counties, featuring the work of emerging Latine/x photographers and lens-based artists.

FotoSoCal’s axis are the shared experiences of brown individuals whose ancestral ties link them beyond the borders of the United States. Individuals often deemed Latinx. This project centers Latinidad as an ethnorace and seeks to linguistically acknowledge that 'Latine' and 'Chicanx' are loaded terms that weigh heavily upon our communities. We will, therefore, make space for every single complicated linguistic identifier of the members of our community, which includes but is not limited to: Brown, Mexican-American, Nepantlera, Mestiza, Indigenous, Chicanx, Mexican-Irish, Afro-Mexicana, Chicano, Latine, Undocumented, Oaxaqueñe, Yaqui, migrant, Guatemalan-Mexican, Salvadoran, Mexican-Filipino (Mexipino), Chapin, immigrant, undoc+, and Japanese-Mexican (Jaxican).

The language provided here is by no means comprehensive of the plethora of positionalities that make up this community. Still, it does begin to highlight the complexity of a people bound together by shared cultural experiences.
