Marcha Política (Political Rally) Possibly 1984 - 1990

Graciela Iturbide captured "Marcha Política" with her camera, a medium through which she has explored Mexican identity and culture. Iturbide’s work emerges from a period of significant social and political change in Mexico, including the rise of indigenous movements and evolving roles for women. This photograph encapsulates themes of identity, resistance, and the collective experience. The woman in "Marcha Política" is portrayed as a figure of strength and defiance, participating in a public demonstration. Her presence challenges traditional gender roles, offering an alternative narrative of women as active participants in political life. Iturbide has expressed that, for her, photography is a way of life; a way to see and interpret the world. "Marcha Política" invites you to consider the role of women in political movements and the ways in which cultural identity is asserted and negotiated in the public sphere. It is an invitation to reflect on our own participation in society.
