Julián Cardona (1960- )
The collection from Photojournalist Julián Cardona consists of over 17,000 images. Cardona’s work is internationally recognized, documenting transnational economic violence in Mexico, the resulting exodus of Mexican communities, and the emergence of the new Americans in the United States. Cardona’s work focuses on immigrants, the violence in the border cities and the economic violence that has engulfed the region. The Institute is working with the Oviatt Library to make these images available online.
