Oaxaca, Mexico 1975

"Oaxaca, Mexico" (1975) is a black and white photograph by Ed Grazda. It depicts a person in traditional clothing walking past a wooden gate with political posters. The image captures the social and political context of Mexico in the 1970s, showcasing the juxtaposition of traditional culture and modern political messaging. This work, part of Grazda's series exploring daily life in Oaxaca, uses documentary style to provide a glimpse into the city's atmosphere and cultural practices. The strong composition emphasizes the figure against the backdrop of the gate, creating a sense of anonymity while highlighting the cultural symbolism.
