Event Description

Curator Amy Pederson has assembled an exhibition that uses lucha libre, or Mexican professional wrestling, as a platform for mapping Mexico’s cultural history and its social relations that echo beyond the ring. Video, sculpture, painting, and performance address the exhibit’s central themes of redemption, salvation, identity and the spectacle.
