The KBr Fundación Mapfre in Barcelona has launched a retrospective exhibition titled ‘American Images’ featuring the work of Dutch photographer Dana Lixenberg. The exhibition, curated by Laurie Hurwitz and Marcel Feil, is scheduled to run until January.

Lixenberg’s work focuses on documenting complex social landscapes and marginalized communities. Key highlights include the ‘Imperial Courts’ series, a long-term study of Los Angeles neighborhoods initiated in 1993, and her portraits of a young Tupac Shakur for VIBE magazine. The collection also encompasses projects such as ‘Wallen’, depicting Amsterdam’s red-light district, and ‘The Last Days of Shishmaref’, which documents an Inupiaq community in Alaska.
