Beyond Here: The Judy and Sidney Zuber Collection of Latin American Photography features 35 works by Latin American photographers who foreground the figure’s natural capacity for storytelling and craft compelling narratives about the profound changes of the 20th century. This single-gallery exhibition includes work by Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Graciela Iturbide, Flor Garduño, Luis Gonzalez Palma, and Marta Mariá Pérez Bravo, among others from 10 Latin American countries. Working across a range of photographic traditions from studio photography and social documentation to formal modernism and more contemporary experimentations with process and narrative structure, these photographers respond to interrelated forces of economic development, technological advancement, nationalism, revolution, modernism, and more, that created circumstances ripe with artistic potential and new possibilities for self-determination across Latin America during the 20th century. Drawn from the highly nuanced Spanish phrase “mas allá,” the exhibition’s title gestures to this sense of potential and the multiplicity of futures referenced in the photographs. The Judy and Sidney Zuber Collection of Latin American Photography is a promised gift to the Cantor Arts Center and will form the foundations of a growing collection of Latin American photography. This exhibition celebrates this promised gift and the establishment of the Zuber Family Art Fund for collecting Latin American photographs at the Cantor Arts Center.

 

This exhibition is organized by the Cantor Arts Center. We gratefully acknowledge support from the Zuber Family Art Fund.
