Tonight we headed down to the Emma Barrientos MACC with Reed for the opening exhibit of "Fingerprints of Reality" an exhibit of photos depicting the immigrant's journey and "Barrio Scenes", paintings of East Austin. The photojournalist, Carlos Lazano and the painter Roy Madrano were present at the opening and spoke as well. Liz and Jared met up with us as well and we were all impressed with the work presented. I was very moved by both artists' talks, as this was both of their first exhibits. Both were so appreciative for the opportunity to show their work.The MACC is a beautiful space, entry is free. I have seen wonderful films and exhibits in this space that offers so much to the community.
We then ate pizza at HOUSE on Airport and 51st. It's good brick oven pizza. Great atmosphere and good talking with good friend Reed. This afternoon I hooked up with Ria and her Mom, Amandine, visiting from Belgium at SO CO Cafe. A good day of people, art, intelligent conversation. Some days just offer so much.
