The Long Beach Museum of Art presents Scott Carrillo Azevedo’s first solo museum exhibition, The American Home—The Broken Promise.
After relocating from his home in Palm Springs to New Haven, Azevedo began incorporating imagery from vintage magazines such as The American Home to reimagine family narratives shaped by systemic racism, cultural erasure, and personal tragedy—including the early death of his grandparents.
Ultimately, the work explores themes of identity, loss, and belonging. Through portraiture and disrupted domestic spaces, Azevedo creates metaphors for navigating life between cultures, informed by experiences of racial ambiguity, queerness, and economic hardship in America
