En Foco is thrilled to announce the opening of A Reference Letter for the Revolution: The 2025 Fellowship Exhibition, featuring the work of fifteen lens-based artists of color selected for the prestigious En Foco Artist Fellowship, now in its tenth year. The exhibition will showcase the exceptional work of Ashley Peña, Dean Majd, Destiny Mata, Jarrett Murphy, Jeremy Dennis, Juan “Wamoo” Álvarez, Suede, Kalada Halliday, Kalena Burwell, María José Maldonado, Néstor Pérez-Moilère, Stephanie Ayala, Wayne Liu, Yukai Chen, and Zain Alam.

Curated by artist Alison Kuo, the exhibition will be on view from September 12 to October 13, 2025, at WallWorks NY and Fashion Moda Modern galleries. An opening reception will take place on September 18, 2025, where the new Nueva Luz issue will also be available for purchase.

A Reference Letter for the Revolution highlights themes of connectivity, accountability, and cultural resilience. The diverse cohort creates powerful work spanning photography, video, and interdisciplinary media, addressing subjects from immigrant community documentation and colonial critique to transgender ancestry and queer self-portraiture. These visionary artists represent what Kuo describes as “the children of freedom fighters and the parents of liberation,” offering transformative models of healing and social change through their innovative visual storytelling.
