In celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month, the University Library, Office of DEIB, and College of Arts and Letters have partnered together to bring artist Julio Salgado to campus! 

On November 18th, from 3-5 p.m. in the University Library Community Room, Julio will provide a 45-minute talk and Q&A on Storytelling through Art, followed by a poster-making workshop. 

Julio Salgado is a multimedia artist based in Long Beach, CA. Julio's status as a queer immigrant has informed his vast body of political artwork, which can be seen in marches, community spaces, and institutions such as the SFMOMA and the Smithsonian. He is currently a Sr. Program Manager at The Center for Cultural Power, where he co-created The Disruptors Fellowship, a program for emerging television writers. Julio is a regular comic contributor for the L.A. Times, where you can find his comic strip "Good Immigrant, Bad Immigrant." Listen to a recent talk he gave for Cal Humanities, Drawing Belonging: Queer Joy, Migration, & Collective Joy, on YouTube.
