Opening Celebration of Women of Land and Smoke — free admission to Mint Museum Randolph Nov 23-24

Women of Land and Smoke: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide and Maya Goded opens at Mint Museum Randolph, 2730 Randolph Road, Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 23, 2024.

This exhibition includes over 50 photographs that present an overview of Iturbide and Goded’s careers that span the Americas.

For the past three years, the Mint has been building a significant portfolio of works by Mexico City-based photographers Graciela Iturbide and Maya Goded. Over the decades, the two photographers have created revealing, poignant, and powerful images that examine the intersection of contemporary life and centuries-long practices throughout North and South America.

The artists, who are a generation apart in age, both grew up in Mexico City and have worked in various places throughout the world. Their primary focus, however, has been indigenous communities stretching from Los Angeles to Chile. Over decades of exploring communities, whether urban or isolated, Iturbide and Goded have found women as the consistent force holding these fragmenting societies together.
