“New Mexican photographer Miguel Gandert’s “Rituales de la Tierra y del Espiritu—Rituals of the Land and Spirit” comes to the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art this month.

Gandert’s black and white images document the spiritual and secular rituals of Indo-Hispanic peoples living in the Rio Grande Valley. Whether it’s Comanche dancers in Talpa, New Mexico or a woman in Juarez, Mexico with a tattoo of La Virgen de Guadalupe running the length of her back, Gandert observes them with the same reverence, from anecdotal portraits to ornate ceremonial compositions.”*
