Thanks to everyone who opened our eyes to the jaw-dropping works by artists Perla Miriam Salgado Zamorano, Edgar Israel Camargo Reyes, Roberto Carlos Martinez Tecillo, Alejandro Camacho Barrera, and Alberto Moreno Fernandez. We hope to meet them some day!
And our guides for this journey were NIU Associate Dean for Collections Management Gwen Gregory, Mexican Cultural Center of DuPage president Fernando Ramirez, NIU Dean of Libraries Fred Barnhart, and NIU Latino Resource Center Luis Santos-Rivas.
And thanks to our listener who suggested we visit the Alebrijes exhibit for this episode of Under Rocks. See? We listen to you! Let us know what fun and interesting things in (or near) northern Illinois you’d like us to check out next. Email us at rocks@niu.edu.
Music performed by Mariachi NIU and Banda NIU.
Under Rocks is produced at Northern Illinois University by WNIJ/Northern Public Radio.
