The exhibit of the works of Mexican photojournalists, never before shown north of the U.S. border, kicks off May 5 —Cinco de Mayo— at Cuyamaca College. The photographs offer a rare window into life in the state of Guerrero, chronicling the day-to-day experiences of indigenous and Afro-Mexican people and the tragedy of poverty and ongoing drug violence. The free exhibit, called “A Photo for Freedom,” will feature the work of 20 photojournalists, in the lobby of the Samuel M. Ciccati Performing Arts Center, and will run through early June. This exhibit will also feature an online presentation by the exhibit curator and independent journalist Marlén Castro, as well as a reception featuring Oaxacan cuisine from El Tejate Restaurant in Escondido. The digital theater is adjacent to the lobby where the photos will be exhibited. Mexico is among the most dangerous parts of the world to work as a journalist.
