invites you to immerse yourselves in the outpouring of her personal visual story
...the artist invites you to immerse yourselves in the outpouring of her personal visual history ...
The context says "los" rather than "nos" in the question. Otherwise it would be "the artist invites us to immerse ourselves..."

: I don't think we would use the second person plural in this context. Second person singular maybe, but "us" is more appropriate.

Just another idea:
[los/nos - you have both] invita a sumergirse en la desembocadura de su historia visual personal ...
the artist invites [us] to immerse ourselves/delve into her personal outlet of visual history, ... experiences and perceptions....hometown. "Outlet" may not be the perfect word, and I am sure other may have better options.

invites us to be carried along with the tide of her story
I think it's clear that "historia" means 'story' in this case.

invites us to submerge ourselves in the outpouring of her personal visual story
The 'desembocadura' when used in its technical context is the river estuary or mouth of the river. This is where the river water is released to the sea. When used in a different context in this case the work of an artist the mouth of the river can be extrapolated to mean the place where the artist releases their personal story in the format of their art. Like the river outpouring to the sea the artist's story outpours through their works.
Example sentence:
In an outpour of emotion the artist finally released the anguish of her childhood in her paintings
