Canisius College will welcome Jose Galvez, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer, to campus on Tuesday, April 2 at 7:00 p.m. in Science Hall. The event, which is free and open to the public, will include a Q & A session and reception.
Galvez, a native Tucsonan, focuses his work on the Latino communities of the American South and on naturalization ceremonies. His photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries in the United States and abroad, including the Smithsonian. He is the first Mexican-American photographer to be a part of the staff at the Los Angeles Times and, with a team of photographers and reporters, won a Pulitzer Prize for a series on Latino life in southern California – the first Chicanos to win.
Photographs on César Chávez and the Farm Workers Movement are currently on display in the college’s Alumni Gallery.
