To counter the stereotypical image of Mexico largely created by the American media, the Bronx Documentary Center is exhibiting the work of four Mexican photographers and one Chicano. Chuy Benitez, born in Houston, Texas, decided to represent the cultural diversity of his hometown, where he is seen as not quite Mexican and not quite American. Cultural export is also the focus of Ruth Prieto, who visited Mexicans recently settled in the United States, where they cover the walls with lively blue, yellow, pink and green colors, like the traditional costumes of their native regions.
