The annual Latin American Foto Festival (LAFF) features work by Latin American photographers exploring powerful and important topics. This year's festival, which runs through August 3, will include topics such as Venezuelans' reverse migration to South America; the housing crisis in Peru; youth-led resistance in Brazil; incarceration and the water crisis in El Salvador; life on a tiny island off the Caribbean coast of Colombia; decades of Bronx and Puerto Rican life; and the archival images of a Caribbean social club in Brooklyn.
The festival is free and open to the public with exhibitions at El Maestro Boxing Gym, CasaAmadeo, and Bronx Arts Space, all in the Bronx. Exhibitions will also be on view in Manhattan at Loisaida Center, in Queens at Terraza7, and in Brooklyn at Toñita’s Caribbean Social Club.
