Jesús Garza Photography has created a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation based on his Chicano Photographer exhibition. He has made it available at NO COST to schools, universities and nonprofit organizations.


The show includes more than 30 photographs from his exhibition series. The presentation explores the Chicano Movement (El Movimiento Chicano) from 1970 to 1975 and also the migration of Garza’s family from Tejas to Mexico and back to Texas.

To make the presentation more practical, there is accompanying text file in MS Word. Garza is making this presentation available to academics and institutions to help them inform new generations of the important struggles of Chicanas and Chicanos.

Presentation Topics

- Tejano Diaspora
- Familia Migration
- San José, California
- El Barrio
- UFW
- Marches and Demonstrations
- Teatro
- Chicana/o Radio
- El Centro Cultural

The Chicano Photographer PPT includes brief and useful descriptions in the Presenter Tools view. The "cue cards" in this mode simplify making the presentation. The PPT is customizable. You can easily add comments or delete slides to make it accessible to all levels. The show has been already adapted by academics for use in several schools and colleges.

Garza used the PPT during recent lectures at San José State University, University of Redlands, San Bernardino County Museum and the University of California at Berkeley. The thirty one images that comprise the Chicano Photographer show are also available for exhibition by contacting the artist.
