SUMMARY:Captura x Highway Immigrante Zine Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Captura\, a photography club dedicated to amplifying Latino and indigenous photographers\, in conjunction with Highway Immigrante\, a Buford Highway oral history project\,  are releasing their first group photobook:  “WE’LL GET THERE NO MATTER WHAT”.

The photography explores how  the local Buford Highway community navigates “difficult terrain\, literally and metaphorically…whether it’s traversing inhospitable landscapes in search of a better future\, or finding ways on foot to provide for your family because the state believes that without a social security number you have no right to mobility.”  The event will include music\, food\, and the viewing of a short documentary.
