Conversation with Flor Garduño at MFAH Lynn Wyatt Theater

Saturday, March 8, 2025 | 2–3 PM

The Nancy and Rich Kinder Building 
5500 Main Street, Houston, TX 77004 
Free tickets required

Join FotoFest at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), for a special conversation in English and Spanish with FotoFest co-founder Wendy Watriss, executive director Steven Evans, and renowned Mexican photographer Flor Garduño.

The discussion will explore Garduño’s extraordinary career and creative journey, highlighting her landmark 1992 FotoFest Biennial exhibition, Witnesses of Time, and her current traveling exhibition, Paths of Life, now on view at FotoFest. Witnesses of Time featured mythically charged photographs capturing the symbolic and sacred aspects of Indigenous life across Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

Paths of Life spans Garduño’s 45-year career, featuring images from her personal archive—many previously unpublished—and highlighting recurring themes of mythology, ritual, and humanity’s connection to the natural world. This conversation will offer unique insight into the stories, creative process, and philosophy behind Garduño’s photography. The event will take place at the MFAH Lynn Wyatt Theater. An interpreter will be present.
