Lafayette College Library

In the Lass Gallery, photographer Marguerite Nicosia Torres’ images document an immigrant community’s devotion to Mexico’s patron saint, Our Lady of Guadalupe. The exhibit explores the preservation of a religious and cultural heritage through rituals and traditions honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe in Marshalltown, Iowa. Torres is an award-winning photojournalist who has been photo editor and photographer at the "Ithaca Journal" and an artist-in-residence at St. Lawrence University.

She will give a talk on the photographs on Thursday, October 1 at 4:15 p.m. in the Gendebien Room, Skillman Library. A reception with traditional Mexican fare will follow.
