¡VIVA LA RAZA! Reflections on San Diego’s Chican@ Movement: Past and Present –

Hello San Diego Magazine – I’m reaching out to share Viva La Raza: Reflections on San Diego’s Chican@ Movement, a multigenerational exhibition presented by The Woo in collaboration with Subcultura Curation in Barrio Logan, one of San Diego’s recognized cultural districts.

Opening April 11, 2026 the exhibition is inspired by the resistance, cultural pride, and community movement surrounding Chicano Park Day (April 25), and will be on view throughout that weekend.

Through visual art, archival materials, photography, and storytelling, Viva La Raza brings together multiple perspectives reflecting the history, culture, and creative spirit of San Diego’s Chican@ community. The exhibition features Aztlan Archives as a central historical anchor, a focus on the Queer Chicanx experience in collaboration with Lambda Archives of San Diego, a community-led photography exhibition by Manuel Ceniceros and All For Logan, and a solo presentation of new works by BRISK ONE.

Together, these elements highlight both the legacy and ongoing evolution of the movement in San Diego.

We believe this exhibition is a strong fit for editorial coverage, highlighting intergenerational storytelling, cultural preservation, queer histories, and contemporary community expression.

I’d be happy to share additional details, images, and press materials.

Thank you for your consideration,
Bucky Montero
