Join us for the opening reception for In Camps, Under Trees and Evicted: Farmworkers and People Living Close to the Line in Northern California, an exhibition of photography by acclaimed photojournalist David Bacon. Over 35 years, Bacon has captured the often-invisible lives of farmworkers and working-class communities, showcasing their resilience, struggles, and movements for justice. This powerful collection offers a window into their fight for decent living conditions, fair wages, and legal immigration status. The evening will include a Q&A session with David Bacon, providing an opportunity to hear firsthand about his experiences documenting these stories and his hopes for inspiring a new generation of documentary artists and activists. Don't miss this chance to engage with this powerful artwork and the artist behind it.
