Summary
"Focusing on the relationship between text and the photographic image, the exhibition América Latina 1960-2013 reveals the extraordinary diversity of photographic practices employed by numerous Latin American artists over the past fifty years, a period marked by great political, economic, and social instability. During this period, many artists combined in their work text and the photographic image, using a wide range of media such as silkscreen, collage, performance, and video. This provided them with an effective way of communicating in times of political urgency and also allowed them to explore ideas related to territory, memory, and identity. Including a selection of around five hundred works, the exhibition América Latina 1960-2013 and its accompanying catalog provide the visitor with the opportunity to delve into the history of the continent and reveal the specificity and great diversity of artistic practices in the region"--Page 4 of cover
