Rick Hock, Director of Exhibitions of George Eastman House and Janet Infarinato, Copy Editor/Publications Coordinator of George Eastman House, discuss the exhibit Lucha Libre! Masked Mexican Wrestlers.
Lucha Libre! Masked Mexican Wrestlers is a spectacular selection of photographs, films, and artifacts from Mexico City that provide a journey through the real and imaginary world of the Mexican lucha libre (free form) wrestling scene. The images of Lucha Libre! Masked Mexican Wrestlers span more than six decades, integrating journalistic assignments, portrait photography, documentaries, and artistic projects.
With approximately 100 original prints and contemporary reproductions ranging from postcard size to photomurals, this impressively diverse exhibition includes three audiovisual projections and a film.
Created under the auspices of Fundación Televisa’s Visual Arts Division and George Eastman House, Lucha Libre! was curated by Orlando Jimenez and Alfonso Morales of Mexico City, who have both played a major role in the recent cultural reevaluation of wrestling in Mexico.
