Friday, September 18th we celebrated the closing reception of the FUERZA exhibition at FAR. In addition to the work on view, several artists set up booths to sell additional work, we had Pili’s Party Taco and Midnight Mariposa Bakery vending food and we closed out the night with a very lively dance party by @salsotecala!

About the Exhibition:
The Fuerza exhibition was inspired by the 2026 National Hispanic Heritage Month Theme: Unidos, Somos Mas / Together We Are More.

Though they are united by their roots, each artist explores a unique perspective of home, culture, identity and belonging through their work. The exhibition invites us to gather as many, in celebration and support of Hispanic Heritage, both as a concept and a beautifully complex life experience that our friends, family and community members live every day. Each time we stop to take notice, to get to know, to learn from and to celebrate with Hispanic and Latine individuals in our community, we not only add to a collective strength, we are gifted with a richness that we might otherwise miss. by @fourthandrogers

On Sunday, August 30th Bloomington Ayuda along with Sergio Ospina Romero hosted An Afternoon of Solidarity with Colombia and Venezuela at the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts.

The afternoon was filled with incredible music and delicious food, all donated by volunteers. There were live music performances by La Salsoteca, Son Latin Groove, Palonegro, Andy Miller, Daniel Duarte, Mariachi Aires de Solidaridad and a community dance workshop led by Beatrice Capote.

We want to thank everyone who came out and participated, volunteered and donated their time, energy or resources. The event was a huge success and we raised $5,000 which was then matched by an anonymous donor! We are overwhelmed with gratitude and have been organizing to distribute funds between organizations both in Colombia and Venezuela (details to come!).

Special thanks to @uplandbrewco @social.cantina @panerabread, to our volunteers! Performers! And donors! 💛💙♥️ by @fourthandrogers

This Friday, Pictura presents TRACE 痕跡, a new photographic series by longtime Bloomington treasure Osamu James Nakagawa, distinguished Professor of Photography at Indiana University. In 2022, Nakagawa began a pilgrimage to visit the sites of Japanese-American incarceration camps. Trace combines photographs taken at these sites with photograms of found objects and rubbings of the memorials.

Using diptychs, Nakagawa pairs the past and the present, flattening the boundaries between them. TRACE seeks to reveal what can’t be seen anymore, things that happened eighty years ago and have been quietly buried. Through a direct and immersive process, using actual objects and surfaces from the sites, Nakagawa unearths this history of forced incarceration.

Osamu James Nakagawa TRACE 痕跡
Opening Reception and Artist Q&A
Friday, Sept 4, 5 - 8pm | Q&A at 6:30pm
On View: Sept 4 - Oct 30 (Tue - Sat 11 - 5pm)
Pictura Gallery, 202 S. Rogers St., Bloomington IN
Free and open to the public
