Graciela Iturbide: Borderline Images from East Los Angeles and Tijuana

By Ricardo Romo, PhD.

In the Ruiz-Healy Art Gallery exhibit in New York City, we are witness to a splendid collection of photos from East Los Angeles and Tijuana, Mexico. Three years after the publication of A Day in the Life of America, Iturbide returned to Southern California and extended her visit, traveling to San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. In Tijuana, she photographed migrants waiting to cross the international border.
