Photographs by Leonardo Finotti, curated by Michelle Jean de Castro.

Presented for the first time in the United States, Latinitudes is a photographic survey of modern architecture across twelve Latin American cities: Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Caracas, Guatemala City, Havana, Lima, Mexico City, Montevideo, Quito, San José, Santiago, and São Paulo. Featuring more than 100 photographs by Brazilian photographer Leonardo Finotti and curated by Brazilian architect Michelle Jean de Castro, the exhibition presents modern architecture across the region from a new perspective. In Chicago, a city foundational to modern architectural experimentation, the exhibition invites viewers to consider how modern architecture emerged in parallel across Latin America and throughout the Americas.

Combining the words "latitudes" and "Latin," Latinitudes proposes a horizontal framework connecting cities across shared geographies and histories. Housing, civic, and cultural works by key figures of modernism — Luis Barragán, Lina Bo Bardi, Roberto Burle Marx, Félix Candela, Oscar Niemeyer, Juan O'Gorman, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, and Carlos Raúl Villanueva, among others — are presented within an interconnected architectural landscape.

Organized from south to north by latitude, the exhibition draws on Joaquín Torres-García's América invertida (1943) and his declaration that "our north is the south." Installed across two floors of the Graham Foundation's Madlener House, it uses six standardized image formats aligned along a continuous horizon line at eye level, guiding visitors through twelve cities along a single latitude.
