Exhibit will run through January 12

Miradas: Contemporary Mexican Photographers opens tomorrow, Sat. Nov.15, 6-9pm. In this exhibition, the gaze is not at a Mexico defined by the US, but at Mexicans exploring and defining themselves as they navigate the Mexican and Mexican-American experience today.
