Description
The Women’s Rights National Historical Park presents the exhibition: “Latina” by photographer José Galvez. The exhibition will be on view in the park’s Visitor Center, located at 136 Fall Street, Seneca Falls, New York, from April 6 to May 28, 2017. A reception for the exhibit is scheduled for Saturday, April 1st, from 1:00-3:00 pm.
Galvez’s black and white documentary photographs show Latina women in the United States in their daily lives as students, entrepreneurs, matriarchs, and breadwinners. They pick food, tend children, dream big, and work hard. The labor of these unsung heroines is vital to their local communities as well as to the multicultural fabric of our nation.
José Galvez has been photographing the Latino experience in the United States for more than 45 years. He was lead photographer of an LA Times team whose series on Latino life in southern California won the Pulitzer Prize for Community Service in 1984. His photographs have been exhibited at the Smithsonian, el Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City, and countless museums, galleries, universities and libraries across the United States. He lives with his family in Durham, North Carolina, and his current work focuses on how Hispanic communities are changing the American South.
