William Camargo: Origins & Displacements

William Camargo’s, two-part exhibition, organized by the CSUF Begovich Gallery, is now a storefront window installation at the CSUF Grand Central Art Center (GCAC) in Santa Ana and the Muzeo Museum & Cultural Center in Anaheim.

Origins and Displacements, Vols. 1 & 2 is an on-going body of work examining Orange County’s history through contemporary photographs, videos, and performance produced by artist William Camargo. This two-part exhibition features Camargo’s artistic investigation that challenges the social depiction and erasure of Chicanx/Latinx people in historical documents, photographs, and news archives while recounting issues related to gentrification, systematic racism, and police brutality.
