Her repertoire seamlessly pairs contemporary composers with traditional rancheras and boleros, while her live performances brilliantly integrate elements of theater, cabaret, opera, and jazz. A consummate artist, Eugenia León's evocative voice is a perfect companion to Graciela Iturbide's transformative vision.

Classic Mexico: Three Films by Gabriel Figueroa
Gabriel Figueroa was considered the premier cinematographer of Mexico's golden age of film (1930–1960). A masterful artist known in particular for making his landscapes as beautiful as the women he photographed, his images cast an indelible view of a Mexico that is stunning, but also harsh and lonely. Presented in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive. We screen three films that will give the audience a taste of this remarkable artist's work.
