Photographer Graciela Iturbide discusses her work with Roberto Tejada, professor of visual arts at UC San Diego. This program will be conducted in Spanish with simultaneous translation into English available.

“Graciela Iturbide (born in 1942) is one of Mexico’s most accomplished and fascinating photographers. Iturbide began her career photographing everyday life in Mexico City. But, like her mentor Manuel Álvarez Bravo, she was curious about the country’s culture outside the capital. The exhibition The Goat’s Dance: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide (on view December 18, 2007–April 13, 2008 at the Getty Center) presents the stunning results of her explorations of diverse Mexican and Mexican-American groups, including indigenous communities in southern Mexico, outsider immigrant groups in East Los Angeles, and those struggling at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
