Join us for the closing celebration of Blessings from the Three, Amina Cruz’s first institutional solo exhibition, presented alongside FuturoGenerational, a companion exhibition curated through an open call to Southern California college and university students.
This is your final opportunity to experience Cruz’s new body of work — portraits of Los Angeles’ Chicanx queer communities, mirrored landscapes, and immersive installation — before the exhibitions close.

Amina Cruz is an artist born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. She spent her teenage years in Tampa, FL, and then hitchhiked around the country before deciding to move to New York City, where she earned her BFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design. She also holds an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Cruz’s photographs are utopias and landscapes filled with conversations, power, relationships, memories, joy, and fantasies that you can feel. Her interests are based in queer culture, film/analog photography, and the space between transformation and identity. Her work has been exhibited at MOCA Tucson, San Diego Art Institute, Creative Center for Photography, The Getty, and galleries throughout the country. Cruz’s work is held in various private collections and institutions, including Loyola Marymount University, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and The Getty.
