Pulitzer Prize-Winning Photographer Visits Canisius
Canisius College welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer José Galvez to campus on Tuesday, April 2, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. in Science Hall Commons. Photographs on César Chávez and the Farm Workers Movement will be on display prior to the event, beginning March 19, in the college’s Alumni Gallery.
Galvez will discuss his connection to his own Hispanic identity and his body of work focusing on César Chávez and the movement he started. The event, which is free and open to the public, will include a Q & A session and reception.
For more than 40 years, Galvez has used black and white film to create a powerful and unparalleled historical record of the Latino experience in America. His compelling work, done with respect, pride and no pretense, captures the beauty of daily life. His photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries in the United States and abroad, including the Smithsonian.
