Tianguis Art Feature: Adelita Pata de Perro
Opens Saturday, November 29th @ 7 p.m.

Adelita pata de perro is Jennifer Priego's photograghic journal of Adelita, a character that was inspired by the women who fought in the Mexican Revolution. Priego's Adelita is a hyper-ethnic woman wandering the world on an ever changing journey, and on her voyage of discovery she encounters symbols of power, femininity, sex, and cultural imagery. She finds herself in different situations and places that take her from Paris, to Rome and sugar cane mills in Mexico. There are thousands of photographs that have been collected over the last six years, for the first time ever Priego will be exhibiting a small portion of embellished and adorned original pieces that were taken in Paris.
