Meadows Museum Presents: Images of Mexico
Tuesday, November 4, 5:30 p.m.
2nd Floor Town Hall
Laura Wilson’s Roaming Mexico offers an expansive, intimate view of Mexican life. Wilson’s photographs present not a singular narrative but a colorful tapestry of contrasts, depicting a Mexico that is equally rural and urban, religious and secular, timeless and evolving. The images exemplify Wilson’s gift for capturing the poetic in the everyday, from manual labor to street festivals.
Running concurrently with Roaming Mexico will be Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Visions of Mexico, presenting photographs by one of the most significant figures in Latin American photography, drawn from the collections of the Meadows Museum, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Bravo’s work is distinguished by its striking compositions that draw from surrealist, modernist and documentary traditions, often juxtaposing the everyday with the enigmatic. Together, the shows offer a powerful view of Mexican life across the 20th and 21st centuries, told through distinct yet resonant visual voices.
After the presentation, join the Library for a docent-led tour of the collection, to take place Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 pm at the Meadows Museum.
