Luces y Sombras: Images of Mexico | Works from the Bank of America Collection
April 7, 2022 - August 14, 2022

Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Gallery

Capturing modern Mexico’s culture, architecture, and people through photographs, Luces y Sombras presents over one-hundred works dating from the 1920s to the present day. Portraits of artists such as Frida Kahlo—by acclaimed photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo—and photographs of indigenous cultures by Manuel Carrillo and Graciela Iturbide are presented alongside contemporary photographs exploring the body, identity, and place.

This exhibition has been loaned through the Bank of America Art in our Communities program.

Additional support provided by the Texas Commission on the Arts, El Paso Museum of Art Foundation and the El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department.
