To read this article in Spanish, please go here San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) recently re-opened its formerly titled Latin American Folk Art wing as the Latin American Popular Art Gallery This follows a philosophical perspective shift on the concept and categorization of “folk art” by museums worldwide For decades “folk” was a mystified term imbued with a colonial gaze — there were often restrictions around what constituted folk art Works that had contemporary references (say Elvis works that were commercially sold were ignored by museums and collectors A “purity” was imposed on indigenous artists that would never be considered for “Western,” or “high art” artists Global folk art was viewed (by mostly white and male curators) as a Brigadoon utopia of naïve artisanship but rather merely cogs in the lineage wheel of craft The phrase “Popular Art” is a small but important redefinition of the broad and nebulous category of folk art depending on what museum you visit could include: indigenous art devotional and religious art outside of an Abrahamic context and any other works that are not neatly “contemporary” or “classical.” Popular Art is a more flexible that while still bogged down by a High/Low European/Global South dichotomy moves in the right direction of dismantling hierarchies and mystifying divisions of sanctity and worth Associate Curator of Latin American Art at SAMA “Popular Art refers to artwork that is made by and for the people any exhibition of this work must explore and reflect the complexity of experiences that yielded it to the sacred and communal traditions passed through generations and to creative engagement with contemporary social and political circumstances The reinstallation of our collection captures some of these motivations and contexts while also highlighting the incredible artistry and craftsmanship of the works.” SAMA’s Latin American Popular Art Gallery is packed with beautiful vibrant works representing only a fraction of the museum’s collection which will be rotated in over the next few years There is a balance in the works between textiles (blankets One of the most spectacular pieces of this “other media” is an intricately embroidered pale saddle from Puebla This exquisite piece appears like the saddle of the hero in some epic silent western shot in cold silver shadows — the saddle for a Zapata or Bolivar liberator — a dense aesthetic latticework of tradition reified into leather and practicality despite the beauty of this piece it is a functioning saddle) These aesthetic wonders have a lightness of being tedious baggage of the tradition of European classical tradition (of course there is much cross-pollination) One can revel in the splendor of popular art without the ellipses of ….at what cost Another standout is a tree of life centerpiece from the middle of the 20th century A recurring experience with this popular art is a bittersweet wonder and mystery for all these lost geniuses toiling in forever obscurity and the purity of their gift — unattached to a name or an ego — floats through time like a paper lantern in a blue night sky The tree of life centerpieces depict the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve with their tactility and vertical narrative (the Garden is ascending) physicalize creation; they appear as helices of DNA coiling and intertwining in the black space of nothingness Figurative sculptures shine in the exhibit — monkeys Take the ceramic sculptures of Mexican Revolution heroes Venustiano Carranza and Emiliano Zapata by Eulogio Alonso from Puebla in 1938 — they are frozen in mid-movement ready to shake or perhaps grapple or draw a pistol; their faces have a bemused blankness as if they know how strange it is to be swept up in the gusts of history The “folk-artness” of these works is itself a form of demystification of legends Although obviously made with affection for beloved heroes of freedom the aesthetics of the figures all serve to bring them to the earth within reach The most affecting and haunting works are painted wood tablets by the Association of Popular Artists of Sarhua depicting the conflict in the Sarhua region of Peru in the 1980s and 1990s between the right-wing government and the insurgent communist guerrilla group The Shining Path This was a terribly violent conflict where villagers were often caught in the middle with their sharp dimensionality recalling Bruegel open a lens onto a world that most of us are ignorant of You don’t have to know the history to intuit the story — the precarity This dynamic exists and is at play with all the works in this exhibit You don’t have to know specifics — who the artist was what cultural references are incorporated — to sense somehow Such is the magic of “popular” art — it does not look down from a pedestal but leads one by the hand up the winding roads to the mountains San Antonio Museum of Art can be found here and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" HAA Cultural Events Calendar Every street in Mexico City named after Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, the president in office when the military killed hundreds of students in the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre will be renamed after distinguished Mexican women The first Calle Gustavo Díaz Ordaz to be renamed was that in the neighborhood of Adolfo López Mateos (the president who preceded Díaz Ordaz) located near the Mexico City airport in the borough of Venustiano Carranza The street is now called Calle Elena Garro, named after the Puebla-born writer associated with the magical realism genre Another Calle Gustavo Díaz Ordaz in the Álvaro Obregón borough was the second to be renamed named after a writer and activist born in the state of Guerrero At a renaming ceremony in Venustiano Carranza last Saturday Mexico City Mayor Martí Batres said there are 27 streets in the capital named after Díaz Ordaz and all of them will be renamed “We’re going to give them the names of distinguished valuable and talented women,” he said Batres said that the Mexico City government decided to change the names of streets named after people who don’t deserve that honor Among the other streets whose names will be changed are those named after Antonio López de Santa Anna a 19th century president who is blamed for Mexico’s significant loss of land to the United States “We’re starting with Gustavo Díaz Ordaz because that leader massacred the students in 1968,” Batres said “We’re carrying out what we promised to do on March 8 We said that among the changes we would carry out would be to put the names of many women [on street signs] in Mexico City,” he said “… There are many women who deserve to be recognized and paid tribute to by giving their names to streets in Mexico City,” the mayor said Among the other women streets will be named after are painter Remedios Varo politician and feminist activist Elvia Carrillo Puerto and activist and Mexican Revolution fighter Adela Velarde Pérez were chosen to have streets named after them in a citizens’ consultation process in Mexico City In 2018, 50 years after the Tlatelolco massacre, the Mexico City government took the decision to remove all plaques in the capital’s subway system that recognized federal or city authorities in power in 1968 The metro system was built during Díaz Ordaz’s six-year presidency and its first line started operations in 1969 With reports from El Universal and La Jornada ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily - Property of Tavana LLC The VIN Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was created by members of the Veterinary Information Network (VIN) in 2005.

Read more here about our archive digitization project The Mexican Revolution’s most famous photograph was taken in Mexico City on December 6 Wearing polished riding boots and a formal uniform Pancho Villa sits crookedly in the ornate presidential chair Two dozen revolutionaries crowd into the photograph Over Zapata’s left shoulder is a boy with prominent ears and an avid grin Leo Reynosa was a fifteen-year-old in Villa’s army hoping to fight the American forces that occupied Veracruz but instead was sent against Villa’s guerrillas and made him a captain at sixteen because he could read Reynosa eventually came to Texas in search of work he has owned Leo’s Mexican Restaurant in Houston A framed copy of the photograph greets his clientele The Mexican Revolution seems such a bygone moment in history that it is startling to realize that some of the people who passed through its chaos are still alive—that the old man sitting on a folding chair in the corner of a restaurant or an ice house was once a bandolier-clad soldado Reynosa and four other Texas veterans of the Mexican Revolution will be honored at a Texas City reunion organized by Manuel Urbina II a historian at the College of the Mainland Urbina has found eleven of those old soldiers They fought for every major faction except the side that won he handled horses for Zapata’s guerrillas González became Villa’s teenage confidant and spy He inspected enemy towns in the guise of an orange salesman In 1916 he was shot three times while attacking a machine gunner with a horse and lariat Villa discharged González in his hospital bed and gave him a pistol with a personal inscription The other Texas survivors pictured on these pages—Ausencio R and Miguel Contreras—had less contact with those romantic icons Zapata and Villa It was not unusual for a veteran of the revolution to come to Texas Though the ultimate winners came from Sonora the civil war could not have been fought in such savage and prolonged fashion without Texas Revolutionaries plotted in San Antonio and El Paso They raided villages and ranches in the Valley our proximity to the war continues to distort our outlook Our understanding of the Mexican Revolution places too much emphasis on the mythological generals and not enough on the causes and eventual victors Mexico was a land of prolific natural resources and Mexico produced one sixth of the world’s oil and most of the profits were going to American and British companies Three percent of the Mexican people controlled the national wealth At eighty President Porfirio Díaz was a classic Latin American dictator He came to power as a liberal and had hung on with skill and firing squads for 34 years He enforced his will with a brutal state police known as the rurales Zapata initiated the armed revolt by seizing cornfields and turning them over to the peasants Setting fires that could be seen from Mexico City Zapata’s guerrillas preoccupied the Díaz regime but the zapatistas didn’t get beyond Morelos Díaz’s nemesis was Francisco Madero a charismatic orator and political writer who offered himself as an opposition candidate in 1910 but Madero escaped to Texas and from San Antonio called for a rebellion against Díaz but the maderistas’ revolt flowered first in the neighboring state of Chihuahua In May 1911 thousands of El Pasoans watched the maderistas storm the federal garrison in Juárez Mestizos in sombreros blared a din of bugles; Yaqui Indian fighters wore loincloths One band of Chihuahuan rebels was commanded by Francisco “Pancho” Villa a sometime cattle rustler and butcher-shop owner Zapata overran the federal army at Cuautla in Morelos The revolution was over; what followed was a bloody and treacherous civil war The goals of the revolution were forgotten as factions struggled for power balked at the radical notion of land redistribution; he simply wanted an abolition of presidents-for-life but before he could assume the presidency in November 1911 the interim government sent a Díaz general Madero sealed his own demise by trusting Huerta In February 1913 Huerta used disorder in the capital to stage a coup When Madero’s brother was killed by a mob Three days later he ran afoul of the fugitive law and was shot in the back while “trying to escape.” Woodrow Wilson tried to humiliate Huerta out of office by landing U.S but that only fired anti-American sentiment Wilson opened the U.S.-Mexico border to arms transactions with the rebels Carranza had designated himself Jefe Primero was commanding an able army of Yaquis and vaqueros But Villa’s Dorados—the golden ones—were the ones who brought down Huerta Wilson favored Villa as Mexico’s eventual president because he seemed flexible and did not drink or gamble But Villa was a brilliant military commander and with a combination of long cavalry sweeps and confiscated trains Villa reserved cars for American reporters and even a film crew as he swept toward Mexico City Huerta tried to stop Villa at a natural fortress called Zacatecas but the rebels went straight up a silver-ore cliff He cut off Villa’s coal supply to keep his trains from reaching the capital first But a constitutional convention collapsed when delegates approved Zapata’s plan to confiscate the haciendas It was then that the two generals posed for their famous picture Carranza set up his headquarters at Veracruz and pressed for U.S recognition with a combination of diplomatic concessions and raids in the Rio Grande Valley Villa let a minor firefight in the state of Guanajuato put him out of the running At Celaya in April 1915 Villa should have waited and bombarded Obregón’s outnumbered troops with artillery Instead he ordered waves of soldados into a massacre Obregón lost half of his right arm to a grenade in a subsequent skirmish but Villa’s obsession cost him Wilson’s support Wilson recognized the Carranza regime in October 1915 He imposed an arms embargo against all other factions and allowed Carranza to move Mexican troops through U.S In March 1916 Villa led a raid that killed eight American soldiers at Columbus Wilson sent General John “Black Jack” Pershing across the border Pershing’s troops could not catch Villa and took the worst of it in a scrape with carrancistas The 1917 triumph of the centrists evolved into the PRI a coalition so broadly constructed that it has ruled Mexico ever since But the bloodshed had not yet run its course Zapata still menaced the capital from the south In 1919 in a deception condoned by his general a colonel in Carranza’s army sent word to Zapata that he wished to defect; as an act of faith he killed 59 government soldiers Zapata rode into the sights of six hundred guns he might have died in esteemed retirement had he not tried to block the election of Obregón Assisted by those who had supported Zapata Obregón drove Carranza out of Mexico City in May 1920 Carranza sacked the federal treasury before fleeing on a train to Veracruz but he was intercepted and driven into the mountains The Jefe Primero was shot while sleeping on the mud floor of a peasant’s hut As Mexico’s president from 1920 to 1924 His treasury secretary bought off Villa with a pension and ranchland But none of the revolutionary leaders would know the satisfaction of old age In July 1923 Villa was riddled with bullets by gunmen whose grudges were said to be personal Obregón remained a powerful figure during the term of his successor was amended to allow Obregón to return to office ten days before Obregón was to be inaugurated he attended a banquet of revolutionary heroes where an assassin posing as a caricaturist shot him dead A memorial has been built on the site of the assassination a glass jar contains the talisman that inspired the constitutionalists after the turning-point battle of Celaya it is the pickled remains of Obregón’s strong right arm has never been shy about his Pancho Villa days The walls of Leo’s Mexican Restaurant which opened at its present location on South Shepherd in 1941 persuaded relatives to sign papers allowing him to defend his country When he was captured by Villa’s troops shortly after He became a bookkeeper for Villa and was close enough to observe that Villa “used to get married every few minutes.” In 1918 Reynosa left the Mexican battlegrounds for Texas was 9 when the revolution swept him away from his home in Querétaro to serve Emiliano Zapata’s troops By 1913 he was a daring boy spy for Pancho Villa studying between missions with the camp’s teacher González says that despite his youth Villa confided in him and kept him out of photographs for fear of exposing a good spy González left the fighting after he was wounded three times in the chest Although González has stayed in touch with relatives who live near San Luis Potosí he says he is no longer interested in Mexican politics Rafael Lorenzana entered the fighting at the age of 13 on the side of Venustiano Carranza In 1915 he was captured by Villa’s troops and heard the general order his execution although he planned to cross over again to Carranza But the villistas took him for a brave man and promoted him to sergeant Gradually persuaded that Villa was the better leader—Villa didn’t allow looting—Lorenzana became a major at 19 With memories of the bodies he was ordered to pile and burn Lorenzana left Mexico in 1920 and moved to Mercedes watched the recent Mexican elections with disgust As Miguel Contreras crossed into Texas in 1919 Contreras had soldiered with Venustiano Carranza’s forces for six years Originally drawn into the military by hunger—soldiers had food civilians often didn’t—he had had enough of the bloodshed and headed for booming Baytown he is more interested in American politics than in Mexican politics Arias joined Venustiano Carranza’s forces in 1916 out of moral outrage who worked as peddlers in San Luis Potosí had a run-in with federal soldiers who roughed them up and stole their merchandise Arias joined the carrancistas to fight injustice a leg wound gave him a chance to reconsider his options and learned the

civil war that drove major cultural and governmental changes that have lasted over a century While the economic and social impacts of this war have had mixed reactions and results Mexico commemorates the revolution in monuments Despite the vast scholarship dedicated to the subject the immaculate facial hair of some of the revolution’s key figures has been disgracefully overlooked 20th–century Hollywood often used the mustache as part of a negative stereotypical portrayal of Mexicans in Western films But revolutionary figures wore bigotes at the end of a golden age of facial hair among elites here are the top seven mustaches (or beards) of the Mexican Revolution Orozco led the victory against the Federal Army at Ciudad Juarez that pushed the current president Though Orozco’s mustache lacks the thickness of many of his contemporaries the effort put into maintaining its elegance and neatness earns him a spot here One of the most important figures of the revolution Villa fought for land reform and allied himself with other revolutionary figures to oppose Venustiano Carranza’s presidency Though Villa and Orozco arguably had equal curvature in their ‘staches Madero served as Mexico’s president until 1913 when he was assassinated in a coup led by Generals Bernardo Reyes and Felix Diaz {{It’s clear}} Madero could have grown his facial hair much longer but the modesty and symmetry of his goatee only exemplify his ideals of social justice and democracy for the Mexican people Imprisoned after his first rebellion against Madero Reyes successfully plotted the second one from his jail cell before he could enter the National Palace on the day of the coup Almost as impressive as his strategic acumen is the length his mustache reached The half–and–half blend of black and gray on his goatee adds some flavor An intellectual known as the father of the land reform movement that was a major part of the revolution Enriquez wins most of his points because of the sheer girth of his snowy beard After Victoriano Huerta assumed the presidency following the coup of Madero Carranza organized militias in the northern states into the Constitutional Army The army defeated the Federal Army in 1914 The salt and pepper look also adds an image of wisdom to his face Zapata led strong political and military movements against the landowning class that resulted in major constitutional reforms Compared to many of the mustaches on the list But against the backdrop of his hardened face and piercing eyes it helps him stick out as an icon of the great Mexican

However, it quickly escalated into a civil war with various factions vying for control of the revolution. An estimated 2 million people died in the conflict When President Porfirio Díaz was elected for another term in 1910 former candidate and liberal leader Francisco I The plan had a main motto: “Effective suffrage no re-election.” It demanded labor rights and land distribution which were sought after by social groups against Díaz According to the Chronology of the Revolution by the National Institute of Historical Studies on the Revolutions of Mexico (Inehrm) the plan called for an armed struggle on Nov in which all citizens of the Republic were called to take up arms to overthrow Díaz 13 armed struggles had already begun before 6 p.m Some of the most important – and familiar – historical figures of the conflict include Pancho Villa Women also played an important role in the revolution supporting and even participating in armed combat on all sides many cities around the country organize a military parade over 2,200 soldiers participated in the Mexico City parade and it included a special recognition of the women who participated in the Revolution With reports from BBC, El Universal and México AS Although the holiday is officially on Wednesday Mexico celebrates Constitution Day on Monday to allow a three-day weekend for schools Services such as trash collection will also be suspended for Merida households in Servilimpia territory.

People of Mexican descent were second only to Black people when it came to suffering at the hands of lynch mobs But the white public had little interest unless a white American was killed or a raid was reported it's impossible to know how many people were killed in the vigilante violence that followed the discovery of the Plan of San Diego This is how the Plan of San Diego changed America drastically By the turn of the 20th century, people of Mexican descent in Texas, or Tejanos, numbered at most five percent of the state's population. In towns along the border, there were enclaves where Tejanos were the majority of the population, per Refusing to Forget. As roads and railroads allowed greater mobility white Americans moved to border towns in larger numbers Simultaneously, the Mexican Revolution led to an increased number of people immigrating to the United States from Mexico either fleeing political persecution during regime changes or as war refugees roughly 20,000 Mexican people entered the United States every year and by 1920 that number had risen to between 50,000 and 100,000 per year According to The History of Mexico: From Pre-Conquest to Present by Philip Russell United States Ambassador to Mexico Henry Lane Wilson actively assisted in the orchestration of the coup and was one of the few to publicly "accept the [Huerta] Government's version of the affair and consider it a closed incident." Huerta quickly sought to get the Taft administration on his side and for a moment it seemed as though the United States would support Huerta. But within two weeks of the coup, Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated as president, and realizing the extent of Ambassador Wilson's role in the coup he dismissed Ambassador Wilson and refused to recognize the Huerta regime As Huerta's regime was overthrown, various groups wrestled for control over Mexico. Venustiano Carranza and his constitutionalist faction wanted to restore Mexico to Madero's moderate and liberal rule, while Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata's revolutionary factions fought for radical land reform a potential annexation to the government of Mexico as well as the execution of all white American men over the age of 16 The date of the insurrection was set at February 20th While the plan was named after San Diego in Duval County for where it was "ostensibly written," the plan was meant to be executed across various states along the southern border According to The Plan of San Diego: Tejano Rebellion, Mexican Intrigue by Charles Harris and Louis R. Sadler, the plan is inflammatory but also exceptionally scattered. Other than the Apache people the other Native tribes in the area are reduced to a monolith After helping Black people achieve independence another independent state would be made for them And despite showing little concern for people of Asian descent point twelve includes people of Japanese descent including that "nor shall any leader enroll in his ranks any stranger Although it's known who signed the Plan of San Diego, the true authorship of the document has never been concretely established. While the nine people who signed it claimed that they were Huertista, followers of Huerta, Basilio Ramos Jr. admitted that the document had been prepared by a friend and "brought into the jail by the servants who delivered the meals." but since Ramos was the only one who had been arrested he was the only one arraigned on January 29th According to the Hispanic American Historical Review Ramos admitted to signing the Plan and was held on a $5,000 bond Manuel Flores and Antonio González were also arrested but there was no way to connect the men with the conspiracy and they were both shortly released a federal grand jury in Brownsville indicted Ramos and eight others with conspiracy "to steal certain property of the United States of America," while simultaneously lowering Ramos' bond from $5,000 to $100 which gives the impression that they didn't really believe that the Plan was in danger of succeeding Ramos was able to raise the $100 and after posting bail While authorities had hoped to keep the discovery of the Plan under wraps until they determined whether or not there was a real threat, on February 2nd, the Associated Press broke the story of the Plan of San Diego and soon the story was all over Texas, according to Harris and Sadler While it's not clear how many total individuals participated in the subsequent raids on Anglo farms, Tejanos were supportive of the uprising and even offered shelter to fighters. In comparison, according to Black Past Black people in Texas didn't seem to take the Plan seriously Whether or not the raids were orchestrated as a part of the Plan of San Diego, Anglo militias immediately organized in response. And according to Revolution in Texas by Benjamin Heber Johnson they "watched the racial lines harden as the violence continued and Anglos armed themselves." Throughout the summer, there were several of raids on Anglo ranches, some of which resulted in the deaths of ranchers. Before this, President Wilson had agreed to change federal policy so that following March 5th raiders were considered "belligerents entering American territory for unlawful acts," so they weren't just violating private property but they were "a foreign operative violating American sovereignty." According to The Injustice Never Leaves You by Monica Muñoz Martinez prominent ranches "had become a symbol of Anglo farm colonization" and were especially targeted by Sediciosos considered during its time to be "the greatest symbol of Anglo domination on the frontier." It was the first to develop a new cattle breed in the United States as well as the first to use barbed-wire fencing The ranch also housed a headquarters for the Texas Rangers with whom they had such an intimate relationship that people called the Rangers "the King Ranch's private security." The first (widely accepted) raid occurred on July 4th, 1915 and they persisted until mid-October. Bands of men also cut telegraph wires and mangled railroad lines It's estimated that at least 30 total raids occurred from July 1915 to July 1916 resulting in the deaths of 21 white Americans According to Hispanic American Historical Review despite Carranza officials denying any connection to the raids almost all of the raids subsided after Carranza's presidency was recognized by Washington According to Revolution in Texas by Benjamin Heber Johnson Tejanos who owned land were especially at risk of vigilante violence "regardless of whether they aided in the raids." Although federal records report that 300 people of Mexican descent were executed in the months after the discovery of the Plan of San Diego Rangers often also destroyed peoples' crops and burned their homes in the process Rangers often left dead bodies where they fell and people were too afraid to go bury them lest the Rangers shot them too all too frequently the Rangers would murder someone they hadn't necessarily intended to murder due to an "Anglo ineptitude with Spanish surnames and enthusiasm for killing on the flimsiest of evidence," per Johnson Along the border, this period was referred to as Hora de Sangre, or the Hour of Blood. According to PBS none of the murders were ever properly investigated Many Tejanos felt themselves growing more and more divided as white Americans unified in hatred. Despite being supportive of the uprisings countless people were caught in the crossfires and fell victim to the indiscriminate vengeance of the Texas Rangers According to Revolution in Texas while many Tejanos joined the uprising out of fury at the murder and dispossession others who found themselves targeted by the rebels chose to name suspects and expose them to vigilante violence Other Tejanos continued to work "loyally for the machine in positions such as deputy sheriff and thus numbered among both the Sediciosos' victims and pursuers." Others who detested the rising rate of murders and vigilantism still wanted nothing to do "with any violent upheaval or radical overthrow of established economic power." They considered the attacks on farmers and railroads by Sediciosos as attacks on economic development and they offered little support to the Sediciosos But regardless of one's ideological convictions, anyone of Mexican descent lost their right to due process. "Local whites called this process 'evaporation.' México Texanos and Mexicanos labeled these killings the matanza (massacre)," Trinidad Gonzales notes As murders by Texas Rangers increased, the United States government slowly began to notice United States military officers who'd been mobilized and deployed to the border were apparently alarmed at the conduct of law enforcement and Texas Rangers the United States Secretary of State Robert Lansing even sent a telegram to Texas governor James Ferguson asking him to discreetly have a word with "state and county officials" towards "allaying race prejudice and in restraining indiscreet conduct." Some white Texans tried to assist Tejanos in their fight for justice after José Morin and Victoriano Ponce disappeared after being taken into custody Texas helped locals write a telegram to President Wilson "asking for federal intervention to safeguard their rights." Shortly after Hook was pistol-whipped in a courthouse hallway by Texas Ranger Captain J.J in whose custody Morin and Ponce had disappeared The government finally investigated in 1919 the only Tejano in the state's legislature filed 19 charges against the Texas Rangers demanding an investigation into their conduct While Carranza officials repeatedly denied involvement in the raids official Carranza newspapers began a propaganda campaign in support of the supposed "Texas Revolution."
