Louis Carlos Bernal: Retrospectivita
Join us for an eight-week-long pop-up exhibition, Louis Carlos Bernal: Retrospectivita, at Burton Barr Central Library on the 1st floor.
Born in Douglas, Arizona, and based in Tucson, Louis Carlos Bernal (1941–1993) was a pioneering Chicano photographer, among the very first to envision his work in the medium not as documentation, but as an art form. He began his career in the early 1970s in the wake of the Chicano civil rights movement, articulating a quietly political approach to photography with the aim of heralding the strength, spiritual and cultural values, and profound family ties that marked the lives of Mexican Americans who were marginalized and little seen.
Retrospectivita is a smaller version of the retrospective exhibition on view at Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, that will travel across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas through March 2025, visiting cities with personal or professional connections to Bernal.
Admission is free.
Major support is provided by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.
