One of the most influential photographers active in Latin America today, Iturbide captures everyday life and its cultures, rituals, and religions, while also raising questions about paradoxes and social injustice in Mexican society. Her photographs tell a visual story of Mexico since the late 1970s\u2014a country in constant transition, defined by the coexistence of the historical and modern as a result of the culture\u2019s rich amalgamation of cultures. For Iturbide, photography is a way of life and a way of seeing and understanding Mexico and its beauty, challenges, and contradictions.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first major East Coast presentation of Iturbide\u2019s work, featuring approximately 125 photographs that span her five-decade-long career. Iturbide\u2019s powerful and provocative photographs are anti-picturesque, anti-folkloric. Her work embodies her empathetic approach to photography and her deep connection with her subjects, asking questions through its capacity for imaginary associations. Drawn primarily from Iturbide\u2019s own collection, \u201cGraciela Iturbide\u2019s Mexico\u201d also includes the Museum\u2019s recent acquisition of 37 works by the artist, as well as loans from museums and private collections throughout the US and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Join the group inside The Fenway Entrance on The Fenway on the Museum\u2019s North side at 5:50 PM.
