# Laura Aguilar: *Day of the Dead*

Sep 20, 2026 – Mar 1, 2027 · on view · Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art

Laura Aguilar’s photographs of Día de los Muertos in Los Angeles from 1984 to 1992, recently acquired from her estate.

The gelatin silver prints range from street celebrations to scenes staged inside homes, and portray friends and fellow artists such as Harry Gamboa Jr., Barbara Carrasco and Ricardo Valverde. Aguilar (1959–2018), raised in the San Gabriel Valley, photographed Chicana and queer communities in Los Angeles from the 1980s on. An ofrenda in her honor, designed by the estate’s co-trustees Sybil Venegas and Christopher Velasco, anchors the room.
