A Touch of Color. Covering the ins and outs of border and immigrant art. Monday, April 14, 2008. Old Main hosts ancient ceremony. Slogging across the University of Arizona.

A Touch of Color. Covering the ins and outs of border and immigrant art. Monday, March 24, 2008. May not seem to fit in with the vibrant paintings and shrines of Mexican folk art.

The Seri Indians are a group of native hunter-gatherers in Sonora, Mexico. Close to Hermosillo. The Seri create simplistic carvings,...

A Touch of Color. Covering the ins and outs of border and immigrant art. Tuesday, March 18, 2008. When the genres of film and painting collide, another genre of Mexican art splits from the friction. Where there is art, there is poster art, and some of the most startling examples of figure-painting, surrealism and fantasy you can find. The last 40 years of Mexican cinema.
