Pilsen Arts and Community House Announces Upcoming Exhibition Featuring Photography Documenting Chicago Lowrider Culture | Jan 31, 2024 - Feb 11, 2024

The Pilsen Arts and Community House (PACH), a not-for-profit gallery and community center located in the Pilsen community, presents a pop-up, photography-based exhibition curated by the Slow & Low: Chicago Lowrider Festival organizers Peter Kepha, Lauren M. Pacheco, and Edward Calderon.

“This Life Ain’t For Everyone: Slow & Low Throughout the Years” photography exhibition celebrates Lowrider’s heritage through iconic characteristics such as innovative mechanics and modifications, including wire wheel rims with whitewall tires, custom pinstriping, and upholstery, dynamic airbrush muralism as a method of storytelling, and other contributing visual aesthetics or material objects. This pop-up photo-based exhibit marks the kick-off of events celebrating the 2024 release of a new independently published Slow & Low retrospective book documenting Chicago’s thriving Lowrider community.

The book will be available for purchase during the exhibition run of show and online at www.chicagolowriderfestival.com.

Opening Reception: Friday, February 2, 2024 | 6 PM - 9 PM
