When word came to the newsroom that there was severe rioting in Los Angeles, all the Press-Telegram photographers were sent — except for Cristina. The only woman. She was apoplectic. “No one sent me out to shoot anything,” Cristina told me. “I was so angry. I left the paper on my own without telling anyone and drove around Long Beach with a photographer from a wire agency.”
Hidden
Our (other) favorite books about the Roma
Hidden: Life With California’s Roma Families by Cristina Salvador Klenz, which pubs on April 5, will join the ranks of a small but important group of artists raising awareness about a subculture historically reduced to stereotypes and subject to relentless prejudice. (And that’s when they’re acknowledged at all.)
A new book trailer for ‘Hidden’
We’re excited to share our first-ever book trailer in anticipation of the April release of Hidden: Life With California’s Roma Families. Considering that this is our only photography book to date, creating the trailer seemed like the perfect way to showcase Hidden’s individuality; it’s also a great opportunity for us to share some of our favorite photos from the book!
