Event Details
Take a mid-day break with our High Noon Talks! Discover interesting, and often untold, stories of Texas at our casual lunchtime series.
Join San Antonio artist Dr. Hector Garza for a conversation on art and culture with a discussion of his work De Aqui y de Alla, currently on display in the Legacies of The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo special exhibition. His art celebrates his hybrid identity as a Mexican American while also reimagining the intersection of Mexican traditions and contemporary American pop culture.
