Childrenof Immigrants A Photography Series of new American teens By Quetzal Maucci
On view Through Feb. 2017 [extended!]
Photographer Quetzal Mauuci was inspired by conversations she'd had with [teenage] children of immigrants, finding a common thread and recognizing her own feelings of displacement.
These conversations became the impetus behind the photography series Children of Immigrants. The subjects in her photographs reflected on their childhoods and how they defined American culture. They spoke of self-identification and the constant negotiation of cultural identity. they came from Argentina, India Italy, Poland, Mexico, Peru, and other places, but their stories often share a common theme: Struggling with identity and a sense of displacement, while in the process, claiming their place as new Americans.
Celebrating the
contributions immigrants have made to our nation's history.
The reawakening for San Diego's New Americans Museum in
Point Loma - Liberty Station.

#IAmAnImmigrant honors each of our families' sacrifices, struggles and successes - American's strength is reflected in our diversity built over generations.
Join artists, entertainers, elected officials, organizations and your friends in celebrating the diverse heritage of our nation's social fabric.
