Description
Taking its title from the late Olivier Debroise’s book Fuga Mexicana, this event is a conversation among four colleagues who are passionate about Mexican modernity and visual culture. The panelists reference Photography in Mexico while examining some of the images and clichés that constitute the canon of Mexican visual culture: Maguey plants, volcanoes, urban poverty, pre-Columbian pyramids, the Day of the Dead, the Virgin of Guadalupe, and more. They evaluate and bid a respectful farewell to this magnetic and decaying legacy in the context of what Mexican anthropologist Roger Bartra called the “splendors and miseries of the Post-Mexican Condition.”More Info
