GRACIELA ITURBIDE: OJOS PARA VOLAR
The C/O Berlin gallery is presenting "Eyes to Fly With (Ojos para volar)," the first major retrospective in Germany of renowned Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide. The exhibition, curated by Sophia Greiff and Melissa Harris in close collaboration with Iturbide, runs from February 7 to June 10 and features her iconic works like "Nuestra Señora de las Iguanas" alongside lesser-known series on fashion, the cholo community in Los Angeles, and her travels in India and Bangladesh.
The retrospective is significant as it offers a comprehensive view of Iturbide's influential career, highlighting her poetic vision and empathetic approach to documenting indigenous and marginalized communities. It underscores her mentorship under Manuel Álvarez Bravo and her profound impact on photography through images that explore themes of death, ritual, and cultural identity, solidifying her status as a key figure in 20th and 21st-century Latin American art.
