Graciela Iturbide: Born in 1942 in Mexico City, Graciela
Iturbide studied cinema and then took up photography with Manuel
Álvarez Bravo in the early 1970s. Following him on his travels
through Latin America and inspired by the work of Josef Koudelka
and Henri Cartier-Bresson, she forged her own vision and gradually
created a unique artistic work. Her photographs have been exhibited
extensively in Mexico and in international museums, in Paris, San
Francisco, Philadelphia, or London. She is the laureate of the W.
Eugene Smith Prize in 1987, the Higashikawa Prize in 1990, and the
Hasselblad Prize in 2008.
Essayist, novelist and translator, Fabienne Bradu holds a
PhD from the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne. She lives in Mexico
City since 1976, where she was a Researcher at the Institute of
Philological Research of the National Autonomous University of
Mexico in 1996.
Eduardo Halfon was born in Guatemala in 1971 and spent part
of his childhood in the USA. There, he studied Literature which he
later taught upon his return in his native country. His shorts
stories and novels have been translated in eight languages; he was
awarded the prestigious José Maria de Pereda price in Spain in 2010
for his book La Pirueta, and the Prix Roger-Caillois in France in
2015 for his novel Mourning. The Polish Boxer was a New York Times
Editors' Choice selection and finalist for the International Latino
