Galvez’s photography has been exhibited in museums and galleries in the U.S. and abroad.
Galvez’s lecture is co-sponsored by the Canisius College Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Sigma Delta Pi Spanish Honor Society, ArtsCanisius, Latin American Students and Friends (LASAF) and the Canisius College Diversity Board.
