Katharsis: Fundación Televisa’s Photography Collection – MOLAA

Are you a lucha libre fan? Then boy have we got a show for you. The Museum of Latin American art teamed up with the Photography Collection of Fundación Televisa for a unique show that follows lucha libre from its beginnings. The Fundación started in the ‘80s and resulted in the first ever Photography Museum in Mexico. It all happened thanks to the iconic Mexican photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo, who managed to gather more than 3,000 pieces. On Saturday, June 29th you can witness some of those pieces for yourself without leaving the country. Broken into different areas of lucha libre – among them Ladies of the Ring for all the chicas out there – the exhibition will explore the impact of the lucha libre world. Maybe it’s time to dust off that luche libre mask sitting in your closet.
