Photography Exhibition Featuring the Work of Phil Serna
From Cultural Capital by Chris Macias:
If you run into Phil Serna outside of his duties as a Sacramento County Supervisor, there’s a good chance he’s lugging a Hasselblad X2D or Leica SL2 camera. Serna’s spent the last three decades as an avid photographer, from documenting the slam dancing masses and bands at Aftershock, to capturing Death Valley’s landscape and Mexico City’s urban life.
Head to the Sacramento County Board Chamber Gallery on Wednesday for an opening reception of his “Learning to See” photo exhibition. It’s held in conjunction with Photography Month Sacramento and includes 24 of his photos. If you can’t make the reception, the display runs through Jan. 1, 2027 and is accessible when Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meetings are in session.
“My photography isn’t just an artistic outlet for me,” said Serna in a text message. “It is essential to who I am, how I achieve balance and calm relative to the chaotic world around me.”
