La exposición reúne más de 50 retablos originales realizados en el transcurso de 50 años y tres generaciones de tradición familiar.
La colección de retablos son un testimonio del acervo visual de arte popular mexicano, particularmente del pueblo artesanal de Xalitla, en el estado de Guerrero, donde vive y trabaja la Familia Lorenzo.
Asimismo, el recorrido de piezas artísticas evidencia el dialogo intergeneracional en el cual podemos apreciar a múltiples personajes de la cultura popular mexicana como luchadores, guerrilleros zapatistas, calaveras del día de los muertos, imágenes del juego de la lotería o Frida Kahlo junto a ingenuas imágenes de santos, demonios, ángeles, figuras religiosas y danzas tradicionales enmascaradas náhuatl.
La exposición procura destacar el patrimonio cultural de estos artistas populares contemporáneos poco visibilizados pero que demandan de mayor comprensión y reconocimiento en tiempos debates culturales identitarios.

INAUGURACION: November 14, 2019. 6:30 pm – 21:00 pm – Evento gratuito

The exhibition brings together more than 50 original altarpieces created by three generations of family tradi
tion over the past 50 years.
The altarpiece collection is a testament to the visual heritage of Mexican Folk Art, particularly the artisa- nal town of Xalitla, in the state of Guerrero, where the Lorenzo Family lives and works.
Also, the tour of artistic pieces demonstrates the intergenerational dialogue in which we appreciate multiple characters of Mexican popular culture such as wrestlers, Zapatista guerrillas, skulls of the Day of the Dead, images of the Loteria or Frida Kahlo along with naive images of saints, demons, angels, religious figures and traditional Nahuatl masked dances.
The exhibition seeks to highlight the cultural herita- ge of these contemporary folk artists who are not widely recognized but who demand greater unders- tanding and acceptance in times of cultural identity debates.
