We named this gallery after the alpargata — the humble handmade espadrille worn by laborers and travelers across the Spanish-speaking world. The least pretentious of objects. Made to move, made to last.

Alpargata is a space for photographers who chase light on real streets, and artists whose work is grounded in craft, place, and the visible hand of their making. No velvet ropes. No cold institutional air. Just honest, human-made art with somewhere to go.
