 MEXICO AT FOTOWEEK DC
dialogues in mexican photography
The Mexican Cultural Institute is pleased to join FotoWeek DC with two exhibitions highlighting Mexico’s vibrant photographic scene. The first floor galleries will present an exhibition of photographs from one of the most important collections in Mexico, that of the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City. The exhibition will include more than 60 works by over 30 artists, offering a comprehensive look at 20th century photography in Mexico from some of the century’s most important photographers, like Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Agustín Jiménez, Edward Weston and Tina Modotti, as well as contemporary artists like Graciela Iturbide, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, and Lourdes Grobet. The images range in style, from avant-garde classical images, to late modern works and photographs that explore images as aesthetical constructions.
The fourth floor galleries will feature the work of 5 contemporary photographers, Mauricio Alejo, Iñaki Bonillas, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Melanie Smith and Laureana Toledo. Together, the exhibitions allow the viewer to witness the wide range of Mexican photographic expressions and creates the possibility for dialogues between generations, themes and approaches to the medium.

México Rediscovered: Posadas in Yucatán Haciendas
(Registration deadline December 3)
The cuisine from Yucatan differs from the rest of the country. The Mayas, who inhabit the region, have had a unique indigenous cuisine to start with. In Colonial times, the Maya cuisine mixed with that of the European settlers, creating the traditional Yucatecan food. It is absolutely scrumptious!
It was mainly in the kitchens of the Haciendas, which were main production centers and grandiose households, where this culinary intermarriage blossomed. These days, some Haciendas have been turned into luxurious hotels with restaurants that serve the loved traditional dishes, as well as some new spins.
Join us for a Rediscovery of the Yucatan Haciendas. Enjoy an entertaining demo and a full menu of Yucatan cusine and music. After class, you will leave with a packet of recipes and some ingredients to recreate some of these dishes in your own kitchen.
Each session is $70.00 per person | First come, first served. Payment information click HERE
