En Foco

En Foco in the Bronx, New York, will inventory, rehouse, and digitize materials chronicling its 50-year exhibition history. Founded as a collective of photographers from the Puerto Rican diaspora, En Foco’s exhibition records detail the cultural legacy of photographers of color. This project will support the hiring of a full-time digital librarian to research, organize, digitize, and rehouse the exhibition’s archive. The digitized collection will be available onsite at the Nueva Luz Study Center as well as digitally online. Archive staff will purchase a computer, document scanner, and archival supplies. The project will result in greater preservation and access to the collection and will serve as a crucial resource for the Bronx community of Latino artists and artists of color. Providing online access to the collection will benefit artists, scholars, writers, curators, gallerists, and the public.
