Tepito "Bravo El Barrio" Photographs
with a social mission
Pilsen's newest art gallery, Carlos & Dominguez Fine
Arts, founded by Patricia Carlos, well-known
playwright
and cultural artist, and Leonard Dominguez, former
Deputy Mayor for Education, and former editor of
Nit&Wit Literary Arts Magazine, in conjunction with La
Llorona Art Gallery, will feature the opening of the
exhibition "Tepito: Bravo El Barrio" an exhibition of 70
photographs by the Mexico City based photographer
Francisco Mata Rosas. The directors of El Centro de
Estudios Tepiteños and the Galeria Jose Maria
Velasco, will lead a discussion of the history of this
famous barrio in Mexico City.
They call it "el barrio bravo" which translates more or
less as the "brave hood." But it takes more than
courage and a certain ferocity of spirit to survive in
Tepito, this tough metropolis in downtown Mexico
City's most Darwinian precinct. Tepiteños in their full,
unvarnished humanity are the subject of "Tepito: Bravo
El Barrio" a striking exhibition of Mata's intimate photo
portraits and impressionistic streets scenes that's
running through November 9. The show consists of
70 images, the first fruits of a two-year project during
which Mata and his digital camera became as much a
fixture of the 36 block zone as the mob of pirated
DVDs, fake brand-named clothing, and hawkers.
Tepito is Latino America's ground zero of stolen and
pirate merchandise.
Tepito has its own dark supernatural guardian, "La
Santa Muerte" or "Saint of Death" a
hooded-scythe-wielding skeleton who totes a globe in
one bony hand. Though reviled by the Roman
Catholic Church, La Santa Muerte is venerated by
legions of cabdrivers, homemakers, drug dealers,
police, politicians, and prostitutes who solicit favors
such as destroying their business rivals.
The hyper-real neighborhood begets hyper-real
personalities, and Mata's show is full of them. Like
characters in some sprawling movie epic, the nearly
life-size portraits stare you down: "El Mago Karlos" a
64 year old magician with blazing eyes and an
imposing beard; Reyna "La Guerrillera" Guadalupe, a
veteran vendor dressed in her tank top, sizing you up
with a mischievous stare; and "Mike" and "Richie," a
father-son street clown act. Or a homeless
man "Roxana" Guzman, a transsexual flashing a fake
breast. Then there is the well-known dancer "The
Suspenders" who sometimes stages impromptu
salsa sessions in the midst of Tepito's traffic clogged
thoroughfares.

are the solutions to the problem. State
Representative Cynthia Soto, other elected officials,

presentations, co-sponsored by grassroots women's
organizations across the country. Each presentation

The University of Illinois at Chicago
School of Public Health Urban - Health & Diversity
Program - Bi-Annual Conference on Career &
Education Opportunities for Minorities in Public
Health
The Bi-Annual Conference addresses the disparity in
the production of public health professionals who are
African Americans, Hispanics and Native American
(URM's). In previous years, it was estimated that
URM's constitute a majority of residents in the city of
Chicago and more than 30% in the state of Illinois;
their representation in the public health professions
was less than 10%. Our efforts encourage the
development of an educational pipeline from middle
school through undergraduate college to graduate
and professional colleges in order to correct the
disparity.
Participants will learn about the field in public health;
have breakfast and lunch with faculty, public health
students and alumni; receive information about
admissions to MPH, MS, DrPH, PhD.

devastation it caused, proceeds from this year's

Coprodeli Earthquake Relief Fund that will enable the
purchase of medicine, food, water, clothing, and
