โ€œEl Espiritu de la Cholaโ€ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ January 24th, 2026

A 2018 photo series conceived, directed and styled by Sydney Ballesteros, and captured by Puspa Lohmeyer is emerging from the archives and being shown and honored at the Communion on Convent Gallery space. 

We are beyond excited to celebrate this much anticipated archive of cultural work on January 24th from 5:00pm to 10:00pm. Join us as we pay tribute to the roots, history + evolution of the inimitable style of the Chola. The exhibit showcases Chola style spanning from the 1940โ€™s through the 1990โ€™s. 

โ€œEl Espiritu de la Chola is a cultural love letter and visual tribute to all the Cholaโ€™s we know and love, past and present. Respect.โ€ C/S~ Sydney Ballesteros
