> DESCRIPTION

Description: In the 1960s and 1970s, a complex set of inter-related cultural and political events occurred in the United States. Great strides were made in numerous liberation and social justice movements. Important conflicts occurred, which resulted in some positive changes to American society.

As the socio-political pendulum swings in our current time away from the direction of ultra-conservatism, we invite you to celebrate images from the last period of the 20th Century, which served as a key catalyst for struggles that continue to this day.

Featuring the fine art photography of:

Oscar Castillo: Celebrated Southern California freelance photographer. Con Safos photographer in the 1970s.

Steve Fine: Photographer, writer, Los Angeles area peace activist.

Jesus Manuel Mena Garza: Award winning fine art, documentary, and commercial photographer.

Cidne Hart: Artist. Former photographer for the Liberation News Service.

George Rodriguez: Legendary Hollywood and social justice photographer.

Struggle and Liberation

The shows at Carlotta's Passion are always worth seeing, but I am really looking forward to this one, especially after seeing the slides on this webpage. If we had hope in the Sixties, it was because we were willing to struggle. These images need to be seen--to reawaken those who were there and to inspire a new generation.

A Continuing Tradition...

This exhibit is another in a continuing line of topical and relevant presentations exploring the diversity, integration and ongoing cultural evolution of Los Angeles. Carlotta’s Passion has again assembled a body of work which vividly illustrates the richness and depth of our local socio-economic fabric, and it enlightens our emotions and sensibilities with a dynamic immediacy which mirrors the cultural environment around us. In sum, an interesting and educational journey which I highly recommend to all.
