Latin American Photobooks: A Curator’s Perspective
in partnership with the VII Foundation
In this event, Mexican photographer and writer Arturo Soto will be in conversation with Colombian curator Laura Carbonell about her latest curatorial endeavor, Photobooks from Latin America.
The exhibition, recently presented at Fotofestiwal in Poland, featured a diverse selection of seventy photobooks published in the last five years, from more than ten Latin American countries. The range of works exhibited questioned whether any formal, material, and narrative characteristics distinguish them from those produced elsewhere while also pointing to the specific social and economic conditions faced by creators from the region.
Join Arturo Soto and Laura Carbonell on August 22nd at 12:00 PM EDT / 18:00 PM CEST. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
A recording of this conversation will be available in our Video Collection, shortly after the event.
