Mapping Imaginaries: Territory, Identity and Memory in Mexican Photography brings together four artists whose work treats photography as a way of shaping place, not just recording it. On view from 25 June to 1 August 2026, the exhibition includes work by Graciela Iturbide, Dulce Pinzón, Persia Campbell and Alfredo De Stefano, each approaching territory through ritual, migration, labor, landscape and memory.
At the center of the show is Graciela Iturbide, one of Mexico’s most influential photographers, whose images have long defined how Mexican visual culture is seen beyond the country’s borders. Her photographs often move between the everyday and the symbolic, where spiritual practice, myth and lived reality sit close together. That balance gives the exhibition a strong starting point, grounding it in a photographic language that is both documentary and poetic.
Dulce Pinzón extends the conversation through work focused on migration and labor, subjects that remain central to contemporary life across the Americas. Persia Campbell brings border experience into view, adding another layer to the exhibition’s interest in movement and identity. Alfredo De Stefano approaches the landscape itself as a site of intervention, showing how terrain can be marked by history, use and imagination. Together, the four artists present territory as something lived, contested and carried across distance.
The setting in Little Haiti sharpens that reading. The neighborhood’s layered histories and constant circulation of cultures make it a fitting backdrop for a show about movement and belonging. In that context, the exhibition asks how photographs help build emotional geographies as much as physical ones. The images do not simply depict Mexico or its borders; they trace the ways places are remembered, translated and reassembled through looking.
Mapping Imaginaries treats photography as a form of mapping, but one shaped by feeling, displacement and cultural memory rather than fixed lines on a chart.
