Veronica Ochoa has a deep appreciation for Minneapolis photographer Xavier Tavera's portraits of Latinos in Minneapolis, which seek, among other things, to dismantle stereotypes. Veronica, a documentary filmmaker in her own right, is especially excited about Tavera's new show at the Concordia Gallery in St. Paul, which reflects a new, more conceptual phase in Tavera's career. The exhibition runs through Nov. 13. A reception will held on Thursday, Oct. 17 from 5-7 p.m.
