José Galvez, an award-winning photographer who has spent a lifetime of documenting Latino communities across the United States, will speak on Wednesday, November 28, at 5 p.m. in Sweigart Auditorium on the Lawrenceville campus.
Galvez was the first Mexican-American photographer on staff at The Los Angeles Times. In 1984, he was on a team of reporters and photographers that won a Pulitzer Prize for a series on Latino life in southern California. Since then, Galvez has never stopped photographing Latino life in the U.S.
For more than 40 years, José 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. Galvez's photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries here and abroad, including the Smithsonian.
In addition to Galvez’ talk, a series of events will take place on the Lawrenceville campus to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
