Joe Mata, owner of Matas art, paints a car in the building next to the shop of Mark Mata, spokesperson of the Dallas Lowriders, in Wills Point, Texas, on June 3, 2024. Lowriders are customized cars with a lowered body that emerged among Mexican-American community after WWII. Lowrider culture and art symbolizes the riders' personalities and are viewed more like art pieces than just vehicles. The Dallas Lowriders club was founded in 1979, but ended in the mid 80's, when founder Ivy Mata died, until 2003 when the youngest brother Mark Mata resurrected the group and became its spokesperson. After being incarcerated for 11 years, he returned to building the community, and used his passion to reconnect with his daughters. The group now encourages families to join, distancing itself from the traditional stereotype as a gang, welcoming people from all parts of the city, hosting community events, and participating in community activism.
