Jesús Garza has been exhibiting his photographs since 1970. His photographic collection includes Imágenes Xicano, a series of documentary photographs from the 70s that provide a unique history of the Chicana/o movement and form a primary core of his photographic production. These photographs continue to be used in books, articles and exhibitions. These images are also the foundation of his upcoming book, Chicano Photographer.
