Instituto Cervantes New York and the Aperture Foundation present:

NO SINGING ALLOWED: FLAMENCO AND PHOTOGRAPHY

This exhibit surveys how photographers of different ages have approached the universe of flamenco. More than 150 years of photographic images, frequently taken by foreigners rather than Spaniards, have fostered an association of flamenco with passion, exoticism, marginality, melancholy, deviation, excess, and sexuality.
