San Bernardino's Valley College presents 26 photographs from the documentary series Chicano Photographer by California photographer Jesús Manuel Mena Garza, Jan. 22 through Feb. 7, 2008. The public is invited to a reception at the college’s Gresham Art Gallery on Jan. 24, 5 to 7 p.m.
University of Redlands’ Professor Ann Marie Leimer served as curator for the exhibition. Leimer notes, “During the past decades, Garza has extensively published and exhibited several documentary photographic series. The Chicano Photographer series explores important aspects of the American experience, historic events and cultural practices often marginalized by the dominant culture.” Dr. Leimer is currently developing a book on the photographic series.
