“People Power” with photojournalist Kim Komenich
May 2, 2012 6:00 p.m.
Photographer Kim Komenich will discuss the story of the Philippine revolution and the experience photographing the events from today's perspective. The lecture will provide the background and history of the events around which the exhibit was created. The exhibit captures the historic “people power” revolt in the Philippines that brought an end to the regime of President Ferdinand E. Marcos and swept Corazon C. Aquino into power. The exhibit, “Revolution Revisited,” will be on display at the museum May 1-31, 2012. During the period leading to the People Power Revolution, Komenich was a photographer for the San Francisco Examiner and was granted the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography from the assignment.
