Mexican American Culture Through the Prism of Maiz
This exhibit examines the centrality of maiz to Mexican American culture and features the work of 40 undergraduate students.
It examines the historic role of the Three Sisters – corn, beans and squash – and Los Tres Amigos del Pobre or the Three Friends of the Poor – corn, beans and chile – in this culture.
It examines the connections as exhibited in ancient codices, historic chronicles and oral traditions, plus the daily dialogue they have with maiz.
The unveiling will be followed by a celebration at Cesar Chavez, Room 205 at noon.
