MAA Facebook: Image published on 13th September 2023 with the caption: "In 1969 anthropologist Roslyn Poignant and her husband, photographer Axel Poignant, visited Mexico City. Through a combination of Axel’s photography and Roslyn’s notes they created a collection which reveals a double image of Mexico City. Colour photos showcase the vibrancy of murals, whilst black and white photography records the intimacy of human connections.
