On this episode of Radio Teco Cultura, we are joined by the renowned photographer, Joe Ramos. Joe was born in Salinas in 1949 and was raised in a labor camp by his Filipino father and Mexican mother. It was in those labor camps where Joe’s journey as a photographer began. After moving to San Francisco in the late 60s, Joe went on to document the cultural and solidarity movements that were unfolding in the Mission District in the 70s and 80s, amassing a photographic archive and catalog unlike anyone else. We sat down with Joe ahead of his exhibition, Cultural Renaissance 1970 to Now: Photographs by Joe Ramos.” The show opened on Feb. 23 and will be on display at Acción Latina’s Juan R. Fuentes Gallery until April 20, 2023.
