This lecture explores how Latin American photography became internationally visible in Europe during the late 1970s and 1980s. It analyses the role of transnational exchanges, institutional networks, and political and cultural tensions in shaping the recognition of Latin American photography, while also addressing the decolonial challenge of writing its history beyond Eurocentric frameworks.
