Hispanic Heritage Month “Wearing our Stories”

In 2009, the Museum of Ventura County mounted an exhibition called, “Wearing Our Stories: Costume and Cultural Identity in the Latino Community.” The exhibit showcased artistic expression through clothing and adornment. Visit the Facebook, Instagram or Twitter link below to see all of the recognized artists.

In celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth, the Museum wishes to honor some of the local artists, writers and activists who were photographed for this exhibit and who have made and continue to make lasting contributions to the community here in Ventura County. Here are a few highlights from that exhibit.
