About the artists

• Vida Yovanovich (Habana, Cuba, 1949) arrived in Mexico when she was seven years old and has lived there since then. Her work explores the lives and identities of women from a reflective and intimate work that has navigated particularly complex environments related to human existence.

• Yolanda Andrade (Tabasco, Mexico, 1950). Between 1976 and 1977 she studied photography at the Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester, New York. Between 1977 and 2003, she exclusively worked in black and white, developing an extensive project about Mexico City. Since 2003, Yolanda has been photographing in colour with digital cameras and has expanded her projects to cities in various countries. Her work bears the imprint of the most important photographers in street photography, such as Eugene Atget, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander. In her current work the influences of painting, cinema and literature are evident.
