Women in Early Film—an Exhibit with focus on Mexican-American Women

Thought I'd share a fairly thoughtful on-line exhibit from The Women's National History Museum, a particularly germane segment of which focuses on Mexican-American women such as Dolores Del Rio and Lupe Veléz. This little historical showcase speaks to the racial/gendered/integumentary dynamics and strains Mexican and Mexican-American actresses experienced in (the oft cinematic-chauvanistic cesspool that was old) Hollywood. Worth a gander. En la lucha.   —Marc García-Martínez, Ese at large

The Pachuco comes to Tijuana

The Centro Cultural de Tijuana is paying an homage to one of Mexico's most talented comedic actors, German Valdes in an exhibition called "Tin Tan: el artista, el pachuco, el hombre" (Tin Tan: the artist, the pachuco, the man). This exhibition will be held from June 24 through September 19 and will include a myriad of movie memorabilia and personal objects on display; from photographs, his green card, movie posters, and an original zoot suit Tin Tan wore for his many movies as the emblematic pachuco.
