Graciela Iturbide is an icon of Mexican culture. A photographer who builds images full of realism, far removed from magic or surrealism, two terms with which her photos have sometimes been defined, although she distances herself from both concepts. Her images, beyond documenting Mexican life, provide a background composed of different stories, a mixture of the indigenous and the postcolonial that she herself defines as the "Mexican tempo".

In this workshop we will explore the creation of images with the bird as the protagonist, using the photo-collage technique.

Coordination: Va de cuentos and María Maraña
