In the Fields of the North/En los Campos del Norte

In the Fields of the North is a series of evocative photographs by photographer and journalist David Bacon, accompanied by moving oral narratives – fully translated into English and Spanish – that take visitors into the contemporary world of migrant farmworkers. On exhibit through April 15, 2023, this exhibit is produced in partnership with the California Rural Legal Assistance and the Binational Front of Indigenous Organizations and is traveled by Exhibit Envoy.
