Photographic Integrity and the Vital Link with Environment
About the Exhibition
Four female photographers addressed issues of representation of unfamiliar cultures. Errazuriz examined society outside mainstream Chile. Graciela Iturbide documented the women of Juchitan, a town in Mexico on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec–one of the only places where women administer and govern their environment. Maria Martinez-Canas explored her relationship to the land, religion, and history of her native Cuba in highly-charged photo-collages. Sentis photographed the African Diaspora in Brazil.
