“NOS: Dismantling the Otro” is a presentation of work from the thesis project of Social Theory and Practice major Tess Garcia. The project, which takes the form of a magazine, profiles eight Latinx students at the University of Michigan. Each student participated in a one-on-one interview with Tess, during which they discussed the struggles they face in relation to their heritage. Their answers served as the basis for a feature-style article. Students also took part in individual photoshoots with Tess, whose location, style and focus they directed. Those photos are featured in this exhibition, along with excerpts from each student’s interview. Copies of the original magazine will be available for viewing within the gallery space.

>> Opening Reception: Friday, January 10 from 6-8pm. Refreshments will be served.

In Spanish, “nosotros” means “we.” On its own, however, “otros” means “others.” The title of this exhibition omits the latter part of the word to symbolize Tess’s dreams for the Latinx community: a shared space of “we” where nobody feels like the other.

Tess Garcia is a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Communication and Media and Social Theory and Practice through the Residential College. Her work in STP has centered around exploring Latinx issues through journalism, culminating in the creation of the print magazine and accompanying exhibition for “NOS: Dismantling the Otro.”
