An unveiling will be held for the "Mexican American Culture Through the Prism of Maiz." The exhibit explores the relationship between Mexican Americans and corn through ancient and contemporary stories, beliefs, traditions, imagery, medicinal practices, art and music. The exhibit also examines the relationship between corn, beans and squash often referred to as “The Three Sisters” or “Los Tres Amigos del Pobre” (three friends of the poor).

The exhibit is being curated by the undergraduate students in Roberto Rodriguez’s class Mexican American Studies 319 and students will be on hand for the unveiling.
