C/O Berlin presents the first major retrospective of Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942, Mexico) in Berlin. Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition brings together iconic series and rarely seen photographs, offering a deep insight into a body of work that has shaped the image of Mexico and its people for over five decades.

Iturbide’s work explores the often intimate relationships between identity, ritual, and society. With documentary precision and poetic sensitivity, she turns her gaze toward communities and everyday environments where questions of belonging, cultural diversity, and female self-determination take center stage—from Juchitán and the nomadic Seri community in northern Mexico to her long-term project White Fence in East Los Angeles.
Her photographs of Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul, as well as works from India and Bangladesh, also demonstrate how deeply themes such as spirituality, transience, and the tension between tradition and modernity permeate her visual language.
