A new set of exhibits on display in Fort Collins are helping highlight the city’s rich history of diversity and inclusion of immigrants.
The exhibits, titled “The Places We Come From” and “Querida Familia,” showcase the faces and stories of immigrants who call Northern Colorado home.
“When people think of Fort Collins, they think it is really white, not a lot of diversity. But in reality, we have people from all over the world,” said Jesus Castro, one of the locals featured in the displays. “It is really exciting to see us having an exhibit to show visibility and to show we are here, and this is our home too.”
The exhibits are currently on display at the Carnegie Cultural Center near Old Town.
“It is to highlight the diversity of Fort Collins,” Castro said. “It’s highlighting the Latino families that live here in town, including mine.”
