EXHIBITION IN THE MAYOR’S OFFICE OF IMMIGRANT
AFFAIRS’ IMMIGRANT HISTORY WEEK
Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders will
participate for a third year in the Mayor's Office
of Immigrant Affairs' Immigrant History Week. We are
proud to present an exhibition entitled "Promesas y
Esperanzas del Siglo XXI. 'El Gobierno del Cambio' y
el Éxodo Mexicano a los Estados Unidos 2000-2006” (Promises
and Hopes of the 21st Century: The 'Government of
Change' and the Mexican Exodus to the United States
2000-2006). Mexico elected a new government in the
year 2000. Despite the promises of "change", during
those six years, Mexico experienced an enormous
exodus of its citizens to the United States. This
exhibition, curated by Enrique Gonzalez Ibarra, Mano
a Mano's Director of Community Arts, seeks to
portray the artistic responses from both sides of
the border to this historic period. All artists are
welcome to submit entries for this exhibition. Those
wishing to participate in this exhibition should
contact Mano a Mano soon to see the specific
requirements. Deadline for final submission of work
samples is March 31, 2007.
