Since we've spent some time discussing the link between culture and identity, I thought I'd share this piece detailing the "Arte en la Charreria" exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum. Take a minute to look at the wonderful photos accompanying this article, and think about how the author describes the decorative motifs and how they can help us trace back the origins of Mexican and American cowboy culture. If anyone plans to be in the Albuquerque area before March 30 definitely check it out!
Here's the link to the FULL STORY and another about an annual Charro festival.
