Tina Modotti - Artist and Activist

Untold stories of unknown icons

The exhibition Tina Modotti – Artist and Activist is the third in a series in which Foam offers a platform for untold stories of unknown icons. Foam wants to look at history from a different perspective by providing a platform to artists who have been overlooked or forgotten within the existing history of photography.

Tina Modotti

For most of her life and beyond, Tina Modotti's work was overshadowed by the influential and famous photographer Edward Weston, who had introduced her to the field of photography. Recent research has shown that the photography of Weston and Modotti is often difficult to distinguish, with photographs sometimes incorrectly attributed to Weston. With this exhibition, Foam offers Tina Modotti a platform to recognize her as one of the most dedicated and outstanding artists of her time.
