Participants of the meeting of ''Indigenous People to Heal Our Mother Earth'''', take part in a pre-dawn ceremony at the foot of Mayan ruins in Palenque, Mexico, Monday, March 10, 2008. Hundreds of Indians from Mexico, the United States and Canada gathered to ask forgiveness from what they call ''our Mother Earth'' and explore traditional solutions to environmental pollution in what they called a critical moment for the planet.

When i went to NYC  we visited St. Patricks. It is the largest decorated Neo-Gothic-style Catholic cathedral in the US. They had a little thrown for the Virgen de guadalupe since a week prior is the celebration. Breath taking visit area!!

A general view shows the ''Plaza de las Tres Culturas'', or the plaza of the three cultures, in the central Tlatelolco area of Mexico City December 27, 2007. Archeologists have discovered the ruins of the 800-year-old Aztec pyramid in the heart of the Mexican capital that could show the ancient city is at least a century older than previously thought. The pyramid, found last month as part of an investigation begun in August, could have been built in 1100 or 1200, signaling the Aztecs began to develop their civilization in the mountains of central Mexico earlier than believed.

Orale! it looks bright and early in the morrning... not to mention a little chilly probably.
While Frida was confined to her bed, her mother brought her a small lap easel, and Frida started to paint.  She had studied art before, at the National Preparatory School, where she had met Diego Rivera when he was painting the Creation mural, but Frida had never worked on paintings before.  Over her bed, Frida had a mirror so she could see herself, and this was the beginning of her focus on self portraits.
Posted by4got10ndn [Tue, Mar 18 2008, 5:27 PM]
Pretty gruesome huh? I watched the movie "Frida" and I thought it was a very powerful and impacting account of her life and Diego's. I was completely amazed with her cojones-and his! Especially messing 'round with her sister. I loved the fact that they were all POLITICOS in that infant ala Mexicana/extranjeras era of Las politicas.
kick-ass

This painting shows Frida Kahlo standing in between Mexico and the United States. In her left hand she holds a Mexican flag made of papel picado (cut paper--a traditional Mexican art form) that crosses over to the Mexican side. In her right hand she holds a cigarette. Frida wears a pink dress, lace gloves, a coral and jade necklace, braided hair and stands on top of a concrete block inscribed "Carmen Rivera painted her picture in 1932."

The right side of the image is dominated by what Kahlo sees as a representation of industry and the US. The right half has in its foreground a red blaring speaker, a dark flood light, some type of machine, the concrete block, and cables from all these mechanisms inside the earth. The middle ground is dominated by gray unidentified pipes and shafts in a dirty beige background. The background is engulfed by a sky scraped horizon. Smokestacks spew fumes in which flies the American flag. The name "Ford" is written across these industrialized chimneys. A small part of the painting is devoted to a piece of blue sky.

The left half of the panel illustrates nature and a Mesoamerican/Mexican landscape. The foreground shows a colorful variety of plants and cacti, in bud and in bloom. The roots penetrate the earth to form a weblike pattern. The middle ground is dark brown and has two fertility figures (one light and one dark), along with rubble and a stone skeleton's head. The horizon is dominated by a mountainous Mexican pyramid. The sky has two cloud formations: one containing a fire spewing sun and the other embedded with the moon. The meeting of these two formations yield a red lightning bolt.

This painting documents a private activity from Carmen Lomas Garza''s childhood memories. The image can also be found in a children''s book written and illustrated by Lomas Garza. This is her second book for children. The book is composed of Lomas Garza''s writings and paintings of childhood memories and family activities. The book functions as a nostalgic confirmation of Chicana/o family traditions.
