essay of Colorado’s fieldworkers. “…Celia’s
ability to capture this grace and dignity is reflected in the
images she has taken of our nation’s migrant and seasonal
farmworkers. This ongoing photographic essay began in 1992 when
Celia was commissioned by the Colorado Migrant Health Program
to undertake a black and white study of Colorado’s fieldworkers.
Images that she has taken since then have been featured in exhibits
at the l993 and l998 National Farmworker Health Conferences
and well as the l998, 2000 and 2001 National Migrant Head Conferences. http://www.celiaroberts.com/ |
