“For many years, I have been obsessed with the photobook,” said @martinparrstudio. “It did not take me long to understand that the ultimate statement for a photographer was to produce a book.”⁠ ⁠ In collaboration with @museumhanmi, Magnum presents Magnum Between Pages 1943–2025, an exhibition bringing a selection of 150 Magnum photobooks together for the first time. From Henri Cartier-Bresson's (@fondationhcb) The Decisive Moment to Cristina @lademiddel’s The Afronauts, the retrospective traces the evolution of the medium that has pushed the boundaries of documentary photography and visual storytelling. ⁠ ⁠ Also on view are curations by Parr on the new generation of Magnum photobooks and Korean photographer Kyungwoo Chun on photobooks as metaphors for life.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Discover more at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) Hospice.

In honor of Pride Month, we revisit images from the Magnum archive celebrating LGBTQ+ communities around the world, 56 years after Stonewall 🏳️‍🌈⁠ ⁠ On June 28, 1969, Greenwich Village in New York City stood up against one of the many police raids at the Stonewall Inn. While LGBTQ+ rights and liberties are still restricted globally, work by Magnum photographers highlights LGBTQ+ milestones, resistance and love throughout the decades. ⁠ ⁠ Ernest Cole captured the era when homosexuality was still criminalized in much of the U.S. In recent years, @martinparrstudio saw mothers proudly marching for their gay sons, and @myriamboulos portrayed a kiss in Lebanon. As part of his legacy, @constantine.manos photographed the first legal same-sex marriages in the U.S. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Discover more Pride images at the link in the @magnumphotos bio. ⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) A couple in front of Town Hall after receiving their wedding permit.

@oliviarthur’s work In Private/Mumbai is a two-year exploration of privacy, intimacy and identity in the Indian city that highlights, in part, the LGBTQ+ community. Created between 2016 and 2018, on the cusp of India’s decriminalization of homosexuality, Arthur photographed individuals and couples in their own homes, traversing themes of gender, sexuality and individuality.⁠ ⁠ Arthur juxtaposes moments of calm with dynamic images of the bustling metropolis and its beaches and festivals, highlighting the scarcity of private space, the sanctity of intimacy and the physicality of one’s own body.⁠ ⁠ Several of the images from In Private/Mumbai were later included in Arthur’s 2024 book, Murmurings of the Skin, published by @photo_void. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read more at the link in the @magnumphotos bio. ⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) Aliya, a member of Mumbai's hijra community.

On November 7, 1971, @leonardfreed photographed the New York debut of The Cockettes, a Californian avant-garde theatrical group known for their flamboyant appearance, fluid approach to gender expression and eccentric behavior.⁠ ⁠ A new online exhibition by Magnum Gallery, titled Opening Night, presents a curated selection of these images, now available as fine prints. Freed’s photographs from the event capture the backstage frenzy at the Anderson Theater as well as the audience’s eager anticipation of one of the troupe’s infamous performances.⁠ ⁠ Throughout the 1960s, Freed increasingly turned his lens towards social injustice and marginalized groups. In the wake of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, his documentation of LGBTQ+ communities became part of a wider body of work reflecting his commitment to highlighting issues of civil rights and inequality in the United States. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Discover Opening Night at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) Jayne County with The Cockettes.

Luciérnagas, the latest book from Yael Martínez (@yaelmtzv), serves as a meditation on disappearance and resilience in Mexico by shining light on trauma, memory and hope through transformation.⁠ ⁠ Published by @thisbookistrue, the book is an intimate but sprawling visual essay that contends with the pervasive violence that has gripped Mexico for decades, and the irreparable wounds and voids left behind by people who have been forcibly disappeared.⁠ ⁠ In 2019, Martínez began physically intervening in his photographs by piercing the prints and backlighting them, decorating them with “illuminations” that symbolically attempt to deal with trauma through the possibility of its transmutation: “I was trying to find hope,” he explains. “To show how people in these territories resist.”⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Read more at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1) The hand of a peasant and the "chapulin," the knives to grate opium gum, handcrafted by poppy farmers.

As demonstrations continue in Los Angeles following a series of coordinated city-wide federal immigration raids on June 6, Carolyn Drake (@drakeycake) took to the city’s streets on June 14, photographing protesters at and around the Los Angeles City Hall in its Civic Center district.⁠ ⁠ The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) led a series of raids across Los Angeles, resulting in thousands of arrests, receiving widespread criticism from local officials, advocacy groups and activists for what is seen as the indiscriminate targeting of immigrant communities. ⁠ ⁠ Large-scale demonstrations in Los Angeles and other cities in the USA followed, seeing violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement, including 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines deployed by the Trump administration to curb unrest — an act condemned as federal overreach by California state officials.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ ⁠ (1-8) No Kings protest in downtown Los Angeles.
