FYI Looks interesting. I think I'm going to check it out. I've been to El Museo del Barrio ages ago. About time I went back. Really loved the exhibits.

After almost 4 decades of entombment, the black and white photographs taken by the founding members of the 1974 cooperative, En Foco, are currently on display at El Museo del Barrio until Feb. 27, reflecting on the lives of the Puerto Rican community in New York City, from classrooms to barbershops to even street corners.
The exhibition features a portfolio of evocative documentation from the 1970’s, telling the idiosyncratic story of the flourishing life of New York’s Puerto Rican diaspora in a show called, EN FOCO: THE NEW YORK PUERTO RICAN EXPERIENCE, 1973-74.
Each one of the 79 black and white photographs included in the installation at El Museo, were taken by the Bronx-based locals, Charles Biasiny-Rivera, Roger Cabán, and Felipe Dante, En Foco’s founding members— all of whom concentrated their photography on the themes of education, small businesses, and labor, to depict the realities of their community while living in the city.
