Oscar Castillo and Harry Gamboa Jr. in conversation at the Fowler Museum at UCLA

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," will present 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 on-line digital archive of over 3,000 images by Castillo at the CSRC Library and a forthcoming book on Castillo through the Chican Studies Research Center (CSRC) book series "The Chicano Archives."
