Скачать или смотреть Oscar Castillo and Harry Gamboa Jr. in Conversation at the Fowler Museum at UCLA

September 25, 2011

Since the late 1960s, Oscar Castillo has documented the Chicano community in Los Angeles, from major political events to cultural practices to the work of muralists and painters. The exhibition at the Fowler Museum, "Icons of the Invisible: Oscar Castillo" (September 25, 2011 - February 26, 2012) presents rarely seen photographs from 1969-1980 exploring major themes (social movement, cultural heritage, urban environment, and everyday barrio life) and approaches (photojournalism, portraiture, art photography) that have guided Castillo's work. The exhibition draws from an online digital archive of over 3,000 images by Castillo at the CSRC Library and a book on Castillo through the Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) book series "The Chicano Archives."

At the end of this conversation, CSRC director and L.A. Xicano co-curator Chon Noriega introduces the Chicano artists, curators, and collectors in the audience who contributed to the L.A. Xicano project.
