He worked for this agency for thirty years.

mso-bidi-font-family:Lato;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">Respected both for his work and for his good nature, he covered many news items both inside and outside the islands, though he always had a soft spot for Africa, where he undoubtedly took the photos he was most proud of. García passed away last September, almost at the same time the Lato;color:#F37A00">II Premio Saliou Traoré de Periodismo Journalism Prize Lato;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">, set up by the EFE agency and Casa Africa, was being awarded.

mso-bidi-font-family:Lato;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">For this reason, Casa África and Efe decided to award him this prize and, continuing on the collaboration lines undertaken over the last two years, dedicate an exhibition room to Garcia's African work, inaugurated to coincide with of the award ceremony.

mso-bidi-font-family:Lato;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">This means that the exhibition “Africa(ns)” will be on show at the Sala Sahel, Casa Africa, until 12th February 2021. Both institutions have put a lot of effort into the exhibition, which was made possible thanks to the collaboration of Cristóbal García`s family. They attended the Saliou Traoré award ceremony and the inauguration of the exhibition, with some thirty photographs on show, ranging from Senegal to Namibia, and including portraits of hunters, women, fishermen, children and scenes from daily life at different parts of the African continent, captured with respect and affection.

mso-bidi-font-family:Lato;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">The exhibition can be visited from Monday to Friday, from 9.00 to 18.00 hours.

mso-bidi-font-family:Lato;color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">Cristóbal García Fernández was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1960. He was a biologist, but was always very fond of photography. Towards the end of the eighties, he began working as a professional photographer after joining the EFE agency. During his 30 years at EFE, he received several photography awards granted by the Canary Islands Government and the Cabildo de Tenerife. He had four individual photo exhibitions and at least twelve collective ones, and was a commissioner for other exhibitions. During his long career as a photojournalist, he was able to photograph many important moments in the recent history of the Canary Islands from a socio-political and sports point of view.
