  Consuelo Kanaga Capturing the spirit Centre de fotografia KBr Fundació MAPFRE

  Consuelo Kanaga was one of the pioneering women in the field of photography and managed to practice photojournalism professionally in the 1910s. Consuelo Kanaga (United States 1894-1978) also maintained a close relationship with the American avant-garde circles Group f/64 in San Francisco and the Photo League in New York. Even so, at the time, her status as a woman limited her from devoting herself full-time to photography. Now Centre de fotografia KBr Fundació MAPFRE is organizing an exhibition of her work based on the Brooklyn Museum's collection, with special emphasis on her work representing the African-American world and giving visibility to the "New Black Movement", a cultural movement led by black men and women. Through her work, Kanaga joined in reclaiming the African-American identity.
