Throughout her career, Cristina Kahlo has tackled different aspects of author photography and documentary photography. At the beginning of her career as a photographer, she made extensive photographic documentation on childhood disability (autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy, among others) in different institutions. Throughout her career within Mexican culture, Cristina Kahlo was the founder and director of the Galería Alternativa (1983-1985) and later, in partnership with Juan Coronel Rivera, of the Fotogalería Kahlo-Coronel (1986-1991) in Mexico City. As an independent curator in the area of photography, she has worked for important international museums such as Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin, Germany; the Kunsforum in Vienna, Austria; the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, Italy and the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City, among others. She has given lectures on photography at the Universidad Anáhuac in Mexico City, UDEM in Monterrey, Mexico; University of Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, and the Freie Universität in Berlin, among other institutions.
