Julio Perazza
Julio Perazza was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1943, and he passed away in 1998. He grew up in Southwest Detroit, and much of his work was shot in his old neighborhood, yet his work was showcased to German audiences in Struttberg. His passion for photography led him to explore his life, as an artist does, and document it. We are all so blessed to have known him, and grateful for all he has left behind, so many wonderful pieces of art. These pieces offer a beautiful definition of who Julio was, where he came from, and what he saw in his life, through his artist's eye.
Julio was an artist who began his career as a photographer with the musical performance company "Up With People" and was the first artist to exhibit work at Casa de Unidad, a cultural and arts center in Southwest Detroit. He was committed to the people of Detroit, teaching photography at Casa de Unidad, at two social services organizations SER Metro and LA SED, and at Henry Ford Community College. He worked for 11 years as a photographer for the Central Photo Unit of the Detroit Police Department.
