Los habitantes del suroeste de Detroit y m&aacute;s all&aacute; viajar&aacute;n al Museo de Escultura Marshall M Fredricks para experimentar Los Lowriders: De Detroit a LA y de regreso. Los Lowriders: De Detroit a LA y de regreso es un proyecto de fotograf&iacute;a documental l&iacute;rica de 20 a&ntilde;os que profundiza en el coraz&oacute;n de la cultura lowrider, con Detroit como su centro.Los coches que sirven como lowriders tradicionales fueron dise&ntilde;ados y construidos originalmente en Detroit. Fueron enviados por el mundo e inspiraron a varias culturas de personalizaci&oacute;n automotriz, muchas de las cuales regresaron a la ciudad motora misma. En Los &Aacute;ngeles, la cultura Pachuco de finales de los a&ntilde;os 30 populariz&oacute; la postura baja que lleg&oacute; a ser una declaraci&oacute;n social y estil&iacute;stica lowrider. En los a&ntilde;os 50, LA innov&oacute; en suspensiones hidr&aacute;ulicas, con la capacidad de ajustar la altura del coche mientras a&uacute;n se conduc&iacute;a. Esto fue una respuesta a las represiones selectivas de la ley, pero se convirti&oacute; en una modificaci&oacute;n calificadora de los lowriders poco despu&eacute;s. Erik Paul Howard es un artista basado en lentes y organizador cultural, nacido y criado en el suroeste de Detroit, compartiendo historias de comunidad formadas a trav&eacute;s de pasiones compartidas y necesidades intersecadas. El trabajo de Howard sirve como un &iacute;ndice visual de las tradiciones, cultura e historia de sus comunidades. Para Howard, la fotograf&iacute;a y el video son herramientas de construcci&oacute;n de imaginaci&oacute;n y expansi&oacute;n del capital cultural, forjando un futuro que prioriza la sabidur&iacute;a generacional, la ayuda mutua y la justicia.El trabajo creativo de Howard est&aacute; profundamente arraigado en sus dos d&eacute;cadas de pr&aacute;ctica social como cofundador de <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.insidesouthwest.com/avis-street-photo-studio" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Inside Southwest Detroit</a>, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.insidesouthwest.com/thealleyproject" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">The Alley Project</a>, y <a fr-original-style="" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522f6eb9e4b0ad0c9681ee72/1540779198164-TCXH79GOCLCZSMXLRZJO/WS001_Page_2.jpg?format=2500w" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Expressions</a>&mdash;una red de iniciativas que practican la justicia a trav&eacute;s del lugar, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.insidesouthwest.com/shoeboxing" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">la narrativa</a>, y <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.insidesouthwest.com/blessing-of-the-lowriders" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">la organizaci&oacute;n cultural</a>.
