“When it came to issues around gender and feminism, and pushing against some of these gender boundaries, I think most women were really willing to talk about it... They felt like their voices weren’t always heard in their community, and so there was a lot of frustration that was coming out. Those were really great conversations.”

Constance Jaeggi () spoke to Leah Dolan () for about her forthcoming book ‘Escaramuza’. You can read the full piece at the link in our bio.

In the sport of escaramuza, all-female precision horse ridings teams execute daring manoeuvres whilst riding sidesaddle and dressed in traditional attire. Constance travelled across the US to document this Mexican tradition by photographing participants and recording their stories. As an outsider to the culture she invited Mexican-American poets ire’ne lara silva and Angelina Sàenz to create prose in response to her work. In the forthcoming book Escaramuza, their poetry is displayed alongside Constance’s photographs to collectively impart the layered and complex narratives of the escaramuza tradition.

We have a limited number of advance copies of the book at where Constance is signing copies until 15.00.

In the sport of escaramuza, all-female precision horse riding teams execute daring manoeuvres whilst riding sidesaddle dressed in traditional attire.

‘My portraits seek to amplify empowerment, and I believe the subjects’ gaze to be central to
this. The women confront the camera and own the spaces that they occupy. These choices are significant, as I’ve photographed the escaramuzas within the landscape that, historically, has been the privileged domain of the white male. Given this, escaramuza may be said to represent women’s reclamation of that space, of their right to coexist within it, and to refuse to be confined to the domestic sphere. For all its tradition and formality, I believe that escaramuza is a powerful force for the disruption of established gender roles in charrería.’

‘Escaramuza’ will be published in December 2025. Constance will be joining us at to sign a advance copies of the book on Thursday 13 November at 14.00. You can see our full schedule of signings at the fair at the link in our bio.
