"Mexico + Afuera: Contemporary Mexican and Mexican-American Voices, explores how life and culture are enmeshed in the work of photographers Chuy Benitez, Dulce Pinzón, and Monica Ruzansky. Each artist has a distinct approach: Pinzón, with her poignant portraits of Mexican immigrants in New York City who are heroically supporting families back home; Benitez, documenting decisive 'minutes' in his stitched, panoramic images of Mexican communities in Houston; and Ruzansky, capturing the rhythm of life after dark in Mexico City, illuminated only by car headlights. Whether addressing sociopolitical issues or inspired by memories of home, all three serve as conduits, connecting us to geographically disparate areas of North America with their work."
