Mexico City is place of wonder. You never know what you will find around the next corner.

Why did Catrina become so popular, so central to Mexican artistic and cultural identity?

Chagoya is “the artist who has most effectively demonstrated the uncanny relevance of Goya’s political satire to our own times.”

Ruben Cordova breaks down multiple forms of diversity on show in the "Men of Steel, Women of Wonder" exhibition at San Antonio Museum of Art.

Chagoya is a highly promiscuous mixer of cultures, an up-ender of artistic hierarchies, and a brilliant and caustic political satirist.
