My Conversations with Barragán: An Exhibition by Martirene Alcántara

The Mexican Cultural Institute presents "My Conversations with Barragán," a photographic exhibition by Martirene Alcántara. This exhibition explores the renowned architecture of Luis Barragán, focusing on how his spaces are experienced through perception, memory, and emotion.

Alcántara's work goes beyond simple documentation, inviting viewers to engage with architecture not just as something to be seen, but as something to be felt and remembered. Through her photographs, Barragán’s carefully composed environments become a dynamic interplay of light, color, geometry, rhythm, and silence.

Rather than merely capturing the physical structures, Alcántara seeks out the subtle, often hidden elements: a fleeting shadow, a fragment of color, a reflection, or a particular moment of light. Her unique gaze encourages us to consider how architecture can transcend its physical form to become a deeply emotional and personal experience.

Join us at the Mexican Cultural Institute to experience Luis Barragán’s extraordinary spaces through Martirene Alcántara’s distinctive artistic vision. The exhibition is hosted at the Mexican Cultural Institute, located at 2829 16th St NW, Washington, DC 20009. Please RSVP via the provided link.
