Korda’s photography explored at UO Schnitzer museum

”Korda and the Revolutionary Image,” a new exhibition at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon, features photographs of such historical figures as Fidel Castro, Raúl Corrales and Che Guevara, taken by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda. The exhibition is on view in the JSMA’s Focus Gallery through Jan. 26.

Two public lectures will be held in conjunction with the exhibition. The first, “Korda, Revolution, and Cuban Photography,” is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 5:30 p.m. and features a conversation with gallerists Darrel Couturier and Lenny Campello, facilitated by executive director Jill Hartz.  Both are well-known for their connections to Cuban artists and institutions.  The second, “Che Guevara: The Man Behind the Myth,” on Saturday, Nov. 23,  at 5:30 p.m., features professor Carlos Aguirre, University of Oregon Department of History, and director of the Latin American Studies Program.
