Join Los Angeles Public Library for the book launch party for Sam Quinones’ first book of photojournalism, Our Lady of the Angels: The Virgin of Guadalupe on the Walls of Los Angeles, from Angel City Press at Los Angeles Public Library. We are excited to have Gustavo Arellano, who wrote the introduction, discuss the book with Sam. On storefronts, alleyways, and street corners across the city, murals of the Virgin of Guadalupe grace the walls of Los Angeles in a tapestry of faith, identity, and culture. Our Lady of the Angels captures the sacred and everyday presence of Guadalupe murals across the city, offering a poignant lens into the cultural heartbeat of L.A. neighborhoods. Each image is a testament to community, artistry, and devotion—a visual pilgrimage through urban altars where spirituality meets street art. Whether you’re drawn to religious iconography, Latino culture, or the layered stories of L.A. itself, this collection invites you to see the city anew—through the lens of its most beloved saint.
