The New Colossus - Exhibitions for the City of San Diego Exposure Fellowship
Having been selected by the City of San Diego, Commission for Arts and Culture as the city’s 2023/2024 Photography Fellow, Mireles installed an array of uniquely styled photography exhibitions at eleven locations across San Diego. Entitled The New Colossus, this expansive exhibition celebrates San Diego’s diverse immigrant communities through a series of engaging visual displays all freely accessible to the public.
Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Mireles installed three separate exhibitions of photography at San Diego’s civic center, five full scale installations at public libraries and three individual artworks also at public libraries. For the multi-image installations, Mireles gave each their own theme and visual approach. Instead of one exhibition spread out across eleven locations, each photographic installation stands on its own - each with its own look, title and conceptual approach to the exhibition’s central theme.
