A Paul Strand in Mexico symposium will take place October 15–16, 2010. There, James Krippner, author and co-curator of Paul Strand in Mexico, will bring together a distinguished group of international scholars and practitioners from Mexico, the U.K., and the U.S. to discuss Strand's output during his sojourn in Mexico in the context of Latin-American modernism, revolutionary politics and film of the 1930s, Mexican-American identity, and other topics. Participants include John Mraz (Mexico) and Mike Weaver (UK), among others. Screenings of the newly restored versions of the classic Strand films Redes and Manhatta (1921)will take place as part of the symposium events. See below for full details

The exhibition and upcoming publication of the same name chronicle this pivotal time in Strand's career (1932–34), shedding new light on this little-known chapter of Strand's life. Paul Strand in Mexico demonstrates how, through his photographic studies and work in film, Strand deepened his involvement with Mexican art, society, and revolutionary politics.
