The Desert Triangle showing in Patzcuaro, Michoacan, Mexico -- at the El Centro Cultural Antiguo Colegio Jesuita -- opening September 18th.

We exhibited the first 18 (not including that of Manuel Guerra), which are all that had been received at that time.  Note:  We exhibited the rest of the prints there in a later exhibition, in March, 2016.
