Program title: Photography at the Borders: Imaging/Imagining Texas and Mexico Sunday, April 3, 1:30 PM Sunday, April 3, 3:00 PM

Location: Hilton Americas

Program ID: Session 04

 

Description: This is a rare opportunity to discover Texan and Mexican photography through the work of two contemporary artists and that of Mexican master Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Geoff Winningham will discuss his images of travel along the Rio Grande from El Paso to Brownsville. Delilah Montoya will present her powerful installation "Sed: trail of thirst" depicting the perilous illegal migration route across the Arizona-Sonora desert. Roberto Curley will show a series of unpublished Alvarez Bravo images of post-revolutionary rural Mexico that sought to define an authentic Mexican identity. Discussion will focus on how photographers depict the two neighboring cultures when national borders are fixed, but social and ethnic boundaries are more porous.
