Arguably Latin America’s best-known living photographer, Graciela Iturbide (Mexican, b. 1942) has spent five decades bringing a singular poetic eye to images of her native Mexico and abroad. This exhibition surveys her most iconic photographs, primarily captured in Mexico, but also worldwide, in locations including Italy, India, Panama, and the United States.  For Iturbide, photography is an act of discovery driven by a profound curiosity about different ways of life—even within Mexico itself–and how history, tradition, and ritual shape contemporary experience.
Organized by Fundación Mapfre, this exhibition features approximately 150 photographs by Iturbide, largely from Mapfre’s collection with selections from The San Diego Museum of Art’s permanent collection.
