For Greta, an image alone isn't enough — what matters is what we choose to do with it.\nThe conversation also explores the male and Western gaze, the invisible burden of care work, ethical documentary practice, the influence of visual culture on how we see ourselves, and the importance of women photographers creating new representations of their own lives.\nGreta also shares her relationship with Leica, the cameras she uses for work and play, and her efforts to help build a feminist photography archive in Mexico.\nGreta's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretarico/\nGreta's Website: https://www.gretarico.com/\nShout out to Carol Espíndola: https://www.instagram.com/espindolacarol/\nand Rosa Chillante: https://www.instagram.com/rosa.chillante/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/v92kR3FzCsM2iOvF4MZcwgzFhHiir76zDq_QY8OKquU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZDM5/YWZkMThmYmNiOWQz/NWYxNjQzZTEzM2Ri/OWE0Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
