WHAT THE EYES CAN HEAR
Selected Photographs from the Celso Gonzalez-Falla Collection
The newest exhibition at the Olga M. and Carlos A. Saladrigas Gallery highlights selected photographs from the Celso Gonzalez-Falla Collection. From December 1st to February 26th, Belen Jesuit is excited to host “What the Eyes Can Hear,” made possible by Belen alumnus Celso Gonzalez-Falla ’53.
Save the date for the Opening Reception on Tuesday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Saladrigas Gallery.
The exhibition brings together an extraordinary selection of iconic images spanning the history of photography throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, alongside works personally selected by the collector whose passion for photography has profoundly shaped the way he sees and understands the world. The exhibition also coincides with a remarkable milestone: the bicentennial of photography’s invention, celebrated between 2026 and 2027.
"Photography must speak to you and do so in such a way that each time you look at it, it tells you something new, not only about the world but also about yourself, said Gonzalez-Falla."
Adriana Herrera, PhD, curates the exhibition—more information to come.
