The Center for Creative Photography selected curator and writer Elizabeth Ferrer as the exhibition’s guest curator. Ferrer has also recently released a book titled, Louis Carlos Bernal: Monografía. This story will journey through the impact Bernal had on the photography community through his life, demise, and legacy.
