Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Reef for SHOW LA and during our guided tour with artists Koral Carballo and Carolina Fuentes, led by curator Claudia Pretelin.
It was great to share the walls with photo galleries from around the world, organizations such as Aperture Foundation, and photographers including Martin Parr, Graciela Iturbide, Alejandro Cartagena, and Todd Hido among many others. Our Landscapes Within, featuring work by Koral Carballo, Carolina Fuentes, Judith Romero, and Vanessa Quintero Castañeda, received strong support from the photo community. We’re grateful for new friendships and look forward to sharing this inspiring work with wider audiences!
Thank you to Nazraeli Press (LA), Setanta Books (London), Micamera (Milan), and especially Weldon Color Lab for their partnership!
Our Landscapes Within is an exploration of identity through the lens of four contemporary women photographers. Each artist presents a unique perspective on the rich and diverse visual representations of the legacy of Afro-descendants across four distinct regions of Mexico. Through their work these photographers delve into the cultural heritage, traditions, and stories that shape the lives of these communities, inviting viewers to engage with and appreciate the profound connections between ancestry and contemporary identity in Mexico.
