HISTORIAS: The Stories Behind the Images Exhibit

On September 12, 2024 the legendary Seis del Sur photography collective opens HISTORIAS: The Stories Behind the Images at the Museum of Bronx History, located at 3266 Bainbridge Avenue, The Bronx, NY 10467. The opening will take place 6–8pm, and the exhibit will be on display through January 26, 2025.

Seis del Sur’s HISTORIAS: The Stories Behind the Images is an interactive multimedia exhibition that explores the collective’s early documentary photographs of The Bronx as well as those of friends and colleagues. Their images—many unseen and stretching back decades—reshape the borough’s narrative and personalize it with anecdotes about the images on display at The Bronx County Historical Society’s Museum of Bronx History.

The work of Seis del Sur founding members Joe Conzo, Jr., Ricky Flores, Ángel Franco, David González, Edwin Pagán and Francisco Molina Reyes II covers a range of social, cultural, and political issues affecting Bronxites over the last four decades as it informed our worldviews. In recent years they have dug deep into their archives, finding images for the show that have never been exhibited before.

The welcome addition of Carmen Mojica and Abigail Montes to the mix continues and expands the collective’s commitment to documenting and preserving our community and personal histories.
