Discover the world of Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide (born 1942 in Mexico City), which she presents in black and white or, as she puts it, as ‘an abstraction of the mind’.
Widely recognised for the poetry and introspection of her images, Graciela Iturbide captures her subjects with depth and sensitivity. Her photography offers a unique perspective on Mexican society, often exploring themes of Mexican culture, identity and belonging, combining a documentary and humanistic approach with an imaginative quality of image-making. Throughout her career, Iturbide has documented the lives of Mexico's indigenous peoples, often living in close collaboration with them for months at a time. She offers a glimpse into their rituals, traditions and struggles, capturing the resilience and dignity of her subjects. The exhibition will include works from several of her most iconic series.
