About the Exhibit
Lucha libre is one of the most popular spectator sports and entertainment in Mexico. This form of sport is known for its fast-paced, high flying, and acrobatic style of wrestling. In a Lucha libre match, fans can see luchadores or luchadoras (male or female wrestlers) whirling around the ring, tumbling, tossing, and tormenting each other.
This exhibition is curated by Jose Vargas, an artist, and curator who has organized art shows for over twenty-five years including the La Virgen de Guadalupe Art Exhibit, El Corazón.
