German art magazine Monopol is giving away 5 × 2 tickets for the retrospective exhibition "Graciela Iturbide: Eyes to Fly With" at C/O Berlin. The article describes Iturbide's career, including her iconic photograph "Mujer ángel" (Angel Woman) taken in the Sonora Desert while living with the Seri people, and her long-term documentary projects on Mexican cultural practices, such as the Zapotec community in Oaxaca and images like "Nuestra Señora de las Iguanas." Iturbide, born in Mexico City in 1942, began her photography career in the late 1960s as an assistant to Manuel Álvarez Bravo.
The giveaway matters because it promotes access to a major retrospective of a highly influential Mexican photographer whose work bridges documentary and magical realism. Iturbide's focus on indigenous traditions, gender roles, and rituals offers vital perspectives on Mexican identity and cultural hybridity. The article also highlights how Monopol engages its readership by offering free entry to a significant Berlin exhibition, making contemporary photography more accessible to the public.
