“Borderland Masks” is a collaborative project developed by MFA candidate Andrés Caballero with the support of the Mellon-Fronteridades Graduate Fellowship and with support from the Tinker Field Research Grant.
It began with oral history recordings that culminated in a series of multimedia pieces telling the stories of a group of Lucha Libre wrestling fans around the US/Mexico border. The exploration of this tradition within the context of the borderlands emphasizes its role as a cultural and social force.
By collaborating with the Lucha Libre community and delving into the personal stories of its followers, the exhibition fosters a greater understanding of this folkloric practice and its impact on individual and collective identities.
Caballero is a graduate student in the School of Art’s Photography, Video and Imaging program.
Reception will be on on October 24 at 4pm in Rombach Gallery.
