On Thursday, March 26, the Norco College Art Gallery hosted an opening reception for our current show "Smoking Mirror" - a solo exhibition by Devyn Galindo. Galindo gave a heartfelt artist talk and fielded questions about their work from students and community members. Over 70 attendees participated in this fabulous event!
Devyn Galindo (b. Orange, CA) is a two-spirit Mēxika-Indigenous artist and filmmaker. Their work and photobooks focus on archives, photography, sound, and films of the Latine diaspora. Galindo’s multidisciplinary practice weaves their-specific research, personal narrative, sound, and archival imagery across photography, sculpture, film and installation.
Galindo’s work has been featured in group exhibitions at LACMA, Getty: Pacific Standard Time LA/LA, Brown University, and the Aperture Foundation. Their honors include inclusion in Dazed’s 100 List: Art & Photography (2024), the Las Fotos Project Award presented by Getty Images, and selection on Printed Matter’s Activism Book List for We Are Still Here. Galindo is currently an MFA candidate at the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College and was named Milton and Sally Avery Scholar for 2025-26.
“Smoking Mirror” is being presented as part of FotoSoCal - a constellation of exhibitions bringing together over twenty community college galleries across Southern California, featuring the work of Latine/x photographers and lens-based artists. “Smoking Mirror” is curated by FotoSoCal Curatorial Director & Professor Erika Hirugami alongside FotoSoCal Affiliate Curator & Norco College Art Gallery Director Michelle Ramin.
