Sabiduría

el legado de Mariana Yampolsky en la Universidad Iberoamericana III

Edición de la obra Sabiduría

The people photographed by Mariana Yampolsky were captured in all aspects of her life. Any theme can be drawn from her work and exposed as a unit. In this third volume dedicated to her extensive photographic work, we present the theme of the elderly, those people who comb gray hair and proudly carry their wrinkles on their skin. These photographs of older adults that are preserved in the Photographic Archive of Mariana Yampolsky (AFMY), in the care of the Francisco Xavier Clavigero Library of the Ibero-American University, are from the decades of the eighties and mid-nineties of the last century, mainly from rural Mexico, and are accompanied by various essays, written from the historical point of view, on how old age has been seen over time in Mexico and the world, by art, as well as on issues on the well-being of older adults, among others.
