Americanos: Latino Life in the United States

August 19 – November 12, 2000

Celebrate the extraordinary diversity of Latino cultures in the United States. Taken by 30 photojournalists, over 100 photographs create a bold and artistic portrait of a people who share much in common and yet are as varied as America itself. This exhibition was shown in Chicago through a unique partnership between The Field Museum and the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum. Each museum features a different part of the exhibition, and both museums are working closely together to present educational programs that reflect the abundant cultural contributions of Chicago’s Latino communities. f
