Chihuahua Pictures from the Edge Author:Charles Bowden These forty large-format color photographs explore contemporary urban Chihuahua, Mexico. The brilliant colors, vivid images, and sharp juxtapositions of Chihuahua's vibrant towns and cities reflect a region barreling into an uncertain future but still grappling with its tumultuous past. Gang graffiti scrawled over an abandoned hacienda, Daffy Du... more »ck, Bugs Bunny, and Mickey Mouse wildly lighting up urban storefronts, and the Virgin of Guadalupe, borne on the wings of an angel, emblazoning the square front of a neatly kept residence are among the images captured in Virgil Hancock's cityscapes. Essayist Charles Bowden peers into the border society between Mexico and the United States and sees the future of both nations. An exhibition of these photographs opens at the El Paso Museum of Art in October.« less
