Escaramuza
Constance Jaeggi

In the sport of escaramuza, all-female precision horse ridings teams execute daring manoeuvres whilst riding sidesaddle and dressed in traditional attire. Constance Jaeggi 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 Jaeggi’s photographs to collectively impart the layered and complex narratives of the escaramuza tradition. Published December 2025 Poetry by Angelina Sáenz and ire’ne lara silva 350 x 282 mm 128pp, 50 images Hardback ISBN 978-1-915423-96-2 The cover comes in different colourways and copies will be allocated at random.
