PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"From reportage to fashion to portraiture, the work of photographer Mayan Toledano is characterized by strong senses of humanity, empathy, femininity and rebellion. Whether created in New York City or Mexico City, Toledano's photography often concerns the interior lives of young people- existences that greatly revolve around the bedroom. ""Your bedroom is the first place that is your own and private, and it's your first place to be creative,"" Toledano has written. ""There's something really vulnerable about letting people into your space and we created these personal images of people being and becoming an authentic version of themselves, all done in collaboration."" Toledano's work has been featured in i-D, Vogue, W Magazine, Teen Vogue, Them and the New York Times, among other publications."
"A well-deserved spotlight on the real culturemakers of a fast-growing global city.--E.R. Pulgar ""i-D"" Her goal is to capture her subjects as they are. But that doesn't mean there isn't also celebration and artifice. The title phrase ""no mames"" is an exclamation of disbelief and appreciation--kind of like a cheeky, ""Wow, oh, my God!""--Chloe Schama ""Vogue"" Immortalizing queer Mexican artists in places they can fully call their own, Toledano offers a vision of the world through a radical lens of play and unmistakable tenderness that perfectly embodies the book's title.--Lakshmi Amin ""Hyperallergic"""
