SUMMARY:Through the Lens: Graciela Iturbide
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 21\n4:00 p.m\nSpeaker: Michael Brown\, PhD\, Senior Curator of European Art\, The San Diego Museum of Art\nMOPA@SDMA \n  \nJoin the Latin American Arts Council (LAAC) for a stimulating\, curator-led exploration of the work of Graciela Iturbide\, one of the most influential photographers of her generation. \nGuided by Dr. Michael Brown\, this special walkthrough of Graciela Iturbide: Photographs from Fundación Mapfre offers a deeper look at Iturbide’s evocative imagery and her exploration of identity\, culture\, and ritual across Mexico and beyond. \nBorn in Mexico City in 1942\, Iturbide studied under renowned photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo and developed a distinctive visual language rooted in documentary tradition yet rich with symbolism. Her work often centers on indigenous communities\, everyday life\, and the poetic interplay between humans and their environments. She has received numerous international honors\, including the Hasselblad Award. \nThis experience offers a rare opportunity to engage more closely with the exhibition through curatorial insight and conversation. \n  \nFree to Museum and LAAC members | $15 nonmembers \nSave My Spot \n  \nSponsored by the Latin American Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured: Graciela Iturbide\, Nuestra Señora de las Iguanas\, Juchitán\, Oaxaca\, México (Our Lady of the Iguanas\, Juchitán\, Oaxaca\, Mexico) (detail)\, 1979.
