Josie Lepe’s gaze is that of a Mexican immigrant, Latina mother-based artist and a photojournalist by trade. She redefines the visual representation of what she calls the Latines community. Lepe focuses on visuals that portray females as a counter-image to stereotypes and reinforce positive characterization of her culture as a Mexican American. Lepe’s photography was part of the De Young Open 2023 in San Francisco from Sept. 30 - Jan. 7, 2024.
