Overview
Nuestro Mississippi uses photography and oral history to document Mississippi’s fastest-growing population: its Hispanic community. Immigrants from Latin America have set down roots and created communities across the Magnolia State for generations. Today, from Hernando to Biloxi, they work as farmers, public health professionals, business owners, professors, dancers, artists, archivists, and community organizers. A series of portraits by Austin-based photographer Roj Rodriguez and related programming highlight their resilience, historical impact, and ongoing contributions to Mississippi culture.
This project and its presentation at the Mississippi Museum of Art are the result of a unique partnership between the Mississippi Humanities Council (MHC) and the Immigrant Alliance for Justice & Equity (IAJE).
