Abstract

MOCTEZUMA, Liliana Elvira  and  NAHON, Abraham. Images, archive and memory: Digitization of the artwork of artist María Izquierdo. Inmediac. Comun [online]. 2024, vol.19, n.2, e211.  Epub Dec 01, 2024. ISSN 1510-5091.  https://doi.org/10.18861/ic.2024.19.2.3770.

The article reflects on the implications of the digitization of archives as part of the material and historical memory, particularly with regard to the images and the people who produced them. In this sense, reference is made to the experience of the María Izquierdo Fund, an archive preserved, safeguarded and disseminated by the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City, which has served to investigate the work of the painter María Izquierdo, one of the Mexican women artists who participated in the cultural framework after the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917). The article reviews Izquierdo's participation in cultural projects of the time and her marked social and political commitment. Likewise, access to the María Izquierdo Fund made it possible to delve deeper into her creative proposal and to rethink the place of archival preservation opened up by digitalization, which generates new possibilities and challenges for the knowledge of Mexican visual culture.

Keywords : images; archive; memory; women; visual arts.
