The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in California is preparing to host the 15th annual Latino Comics Expo. This event marks a significant milestone for both the expo and MOLAA, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary. MOLAA stands as the sole U.S. museum exclusively dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art.
The upcoming expo will showcase a variety of creators, including those behind "El Muerto the Aztec Zombie," a comic series that fuses superhero narratives with elements of Latino culture. Attendees can anticipate storyboarding workshops and panel discussions, such as "Latina Power," led by prominent female creators. The event aims to foster positive portrayals of Latino characters in heroism.
In addition to the comics expo, visitors can explore MOLAA's current exhibitions. These include a display of 1940s and '50s geometric art by Cuban artist Loló Soldevilla and others, as well as an exhibit examining spirituality through lithographs by Cuban artist Wifredo Lam and Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros.
