IRLC Hosts Benefit Gala Featuring “Exodus Alternate Documents” by Willy Castellanos
On September 25, 2024, the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center (IRLC) and its Executive Director, Mayra Jackson, hosted a benefit gala showcasing “Exodus Alternate Documents” by Willy Castellanos. Castellanos, a celebrated art historian and co-founder of the Aluna Art Foundation, presented this thought-provoking exhibition that blends documentary photography with artistic interventions inspired by the Cuban exodus.
“Exodus Alternate Documents” has previously won the Miami Foundation Arts Award for Best Cultural Event in 2014, and it continues to captivate audiences with its powerful narrative and visual impact.
The LULAC Ohio Education Foundation (LOEF) celebrates immigrants and their journeys, and proudly supports member Mayra Jackson and their work with the IRLC. This event underscores the importance of cultural expression and the contributions of immigrants to the community.
