Street Art of Oaxaca — An Exhibition in the Herzstein Latin American Gallery

Molly Nel­son, UNM master’s can­di­date in Latin Amer­i­can Stud­ies and Art His­tory, curated an exhibit cur­rently on dis­play in the Herzstein Latin Amer­i­can Read­ing Room on the sec­ond floor of Zim­mer­man Library on the UNM campus.

With sup­port from the Latin Amer­i­can & Iber­ian Insti­tute (LAII), Nel­son went to Oax­aca to pho­to­graph street art in that city. Nel­son explores the art and the nar­ra­tive behind it; while Suzanne Schadl, assis­tant pro­fes­sor, Uni­ver­sity Libraries, and cura­tor, LAII, describes the exhibit’s con­nec­tion to col­lec­tions in the library, and how other schol­ars and researchers can access materials.

Images from the exhi­bi­tion are also featured.
