Centro Cultural Aztlan is proud to present FOTOSEPTIEMBRE: Celebrating Latino Culture and Community. A photography exhibition curated by Dr. Ricardo Romo.
Over the years, photography has served as a powerful tool for preserving the history, identity, and spirit of San Antonio’s Latino community. The images of FOTOSEPTIEMBRE: Celebrating Latino Culture and Community exhibit at the Centro Cultural Aztlan captures everyday life, important events, and cultural traditions– tangible and intangible—creating a visual archive that complements written records. Iconic images of social movements, migrations, and daily experiences shape public memory and deepen understanding. Photographs in this exhibit also document fleeting moments—festivals, rituals, and personal expressions—offering insight into community values and identity. By making these aspects visible and relatable, photography connects insiders and outsiders alike to the richness of our Latino story.

Centro Cultural Aztlanis pleased to present the 15th annual Mujeres de Aztlan exhibition, titled Mujeres de Aztlan: Persistent and Resilient.
Through this annual exhibition, Centro Cultural Aztlan aims to raise the visibility of women artists working to develop their careers and expand their artistic expressions.
This year’s exhibition focuses on the resilience and persistence of women. These qualities, which seem to be innate to women, are used by women across the globe to address and change the range of gender specific obstacles we face. Resilience makes us stronger as life changes. We develop discernment through experience, mistakes, and hard knocks. We become fearless and adapt to continual change. Women have the persistence to make societal changes such as gaining the right to vote, gaining recognition of female artists, and equal pay for some female athletes. Artists are encouraged to express their unique perspective on these qualities of women. The lead artist for this exhibition is Kathleen Baker Pittman.
