Graciela Iturbide: Between Two Worlds
Renowned photographer Graciela Iturbide presents over five decades of luminous black-and-white imagery in this comprehensive retrospective, revealing her singular ability to uncover profound beauty in ordinary moments. Moving fluidly between her native Mexico and destinations across the globe—from India to Madagascar to Italy—Iturbide captures the spiritual and visual dimensions of everyday life, whether through bustling markets, intimate rituals, or solitary reflections. Her photographs function as meditative acts of witness, honoring the people, landscapes, and traditions she encounters with remarkable sensitivity and artistic vision.
