About the Book
Taken in the early '70s, these black and white photographs were exhibited at Temple University’s Conference on the Anthropology of Visual Communication in 1978. The intent was to show how much of life was lived on the streets in Mexico, particularly in the context of amusement and commerce.
Mexican roadways, intersections, plazas, parks and playgrounds were venues for transporting, displaying and selling a diverse and expanded variety of foods, spices, flowers, hardware, jewelry, meats, live animals and raw materials. Photographers, musicians, mimes, storytellers and other performers combined with street vendors to create a festive atmosphere.
