The National Hispanic Cultural Center of
New Mexico is one of the foremost museums of Hispanic history and culture in
the Southwest. And when you pair that with New Mexico’s great universities and
its thriving arts scene, it makes for some fantastic attractions.
One of the center’s latest exhibits is sure
to please, whether you’re a connoisseur of Mexican art or not: Getting Up Pa 'l
Pueblo: Tagging ASAR-Oaxaca Prints and Stencils is a new exhibit that features
block prints, graffiti, and stencils, courtesy of the ASARO (Assembly of
Revolutionary Artists of Oaxaca) at the University of New Mexico’s College of
University Libraries and Learning, the Zimmerman Library, and the Center for
Southwest Research and Special Collections. The pieces, made by contemporary
Mexican artists, can even be “tagged” physically or viewed virtually at
asaro.unm.edu/exhibit. These labels will be collected and digitized, eventually
becoming a permanent part of the CSWR collection at UNM.
Here’s some more information on the

Getting Up
Pa'l Pueblo is curated by Dr. Suzanne M. Schadl, Latin American Collections
Curator, College of University Libraries and Learning Science, UNM and Mike
Graham de la Rosa, Curatorial Intern, NHCC and Master's candidate in Latin
American Studies, UNM, and is dedicated to the memory of UNM Distinguished
Professor of Art History David Craven (1951-2012).
The
exhibition was partially funded by a grant from the New Mexico Humanities
Council, as well as through the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Additional
sponsors include the Latin American and Iberian Institute, Center for Regional
Studies, Southwest Hispanic Research Institute, and College of Fine Arts at
UNM.
