Synopsis
Published by the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery, Scripps College in association with Getty Publications
This richly illustrated exhibition catalogue features photographs by three Mexican women, each representing a different generation, who have explored and stretched notions of Mexican identity in works that range from the documentary to the poetic. *Revolution and Ritual* looks first at the images of Sara Castrejón (1888-1962), the woman photographer who most thoroughly captured the Mexican Revolution. The work of photographic luminary Graciela Iturbide (born 1942) sheds light on Mexico's indigenous cultures. Finally, the self-portraits of Tatiana Parcero (born 1967) splice images of her body with cosmological maps and Aztec codices, echoing Mexico's layered and contested history. By bringing their work into conversation, *Revolution and Ritual* invites readers to consider how Mexican photography has been transformed over the past century.
