Caja Negra is a multicultural artist's collective founded in 1999 by photographers from Boyle Heights and surrounding communities.

Caja Negra (Black Box), refers to the photographer's main tool, the camera
and it's ability to "bring to light," that which was once hidden.

Caja Negra's mission is to:

  1. Use photography as a vehicle for communication between diverse cultural groups.
  2. Teach and promote the photographic arts in communities of color.
  3. Support and promote emerging photographers
  4. Build a community accessible image archive that preserves Chicana/Latino History and Culture.
