With Becoming Mexico, the museum traces the deep roots of the genre with the striking photo-journalistic work that captured the country’s national identity featuring more than thirty of Manuel Carrillo’s gelatin silver prints. Carrillo’s photographs serve as a celebration of the human spirit. These photographs are part of the museum’s permanent collection. This exhibition was curated by Klaudio Rodriguez, the museum’s Curator.
