The Photographers’ Gallery will host Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide’s “Shadowlines” exhibition.

“Discover the world of Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942, Mexico City) which she presents in black and white - or as she describes it, as "an abstraction of the mind" in Graciela Iturbide: Shadowlines at The Photographers’ Gallery from 14 June - 22 September 2024.

Widely recognised for the poetry and introspection of her images, Graciela Iturbide captures her subjects with depth and sensitivity. Her photography offers a unique perspective on Mexican society, often exploring themes of Mexican culture, identity and belonging, by combining a documentary and humanist approach with an imaginative quality of image making.

The exhibition will include works from several of her most iconic series, including Juchitán de las Mujeres (1979-1989), focusing on the matriarchal society of the Zapotec people of Tehuantepec, south-eastern Mexico. Having immersed herself in their lives for a decade, her photographs show the strength and vitality of the Juchitán women.

The exhibition is curated by Alexis Fabry in collaboration with Anna Dannemann, Senior Curator at The Photographers' Gallery.”
