About the Event:
Custom car enthusiasts in the lowrider community have embraced vehicle modification as a form of cultural expression, challenging the pressure to conform in a society that frequently overlooks the artistic contributions and cultural identity of minority groups. Join us as photojournalists, cultural curators, and artists discuss the historical impact of lowrider culture and its multigenerational reach.
