With the work of over seventy photographers and artists, "Urban Impulses" encompasses half a century of Latin American photography, from 1959 to 2016. Through more than two hundred selected images from the extensive collection of Leticia and Stanislas Poniatowski, the exhibition includes well-known names such as Alberto Korda (1928-2001, Cuba), Graciela Iturbide (b. 1942, Mexico), and Sergio Larrain (1931-2012, Chile), as well as lesser-known and emerging practitioners like Eduardo Longoni (b. 1973, Argentina) and Beatriz Jaramillo (b. 1955, Colombia). Offering a diversity of artistic approaches, from street documentary to collage, the exhibition traces a constellation of significant historical events that have shaped the region: the Cuban revolution, military dictatorships in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay, along with mass social movements that, in still-unconsolidated democracies, have led to repression.
