Latino cARTographies

In the spring of 2023, MPAC was proud to partner with the University of Houston's Center for Mexican American and Latino/a Studies (CMALS) to bring Latino cARTographies to Houston.

Created by Dr. Pamela Anne Quiroz and Juana Guzman, Latino cARTographies is a groundbreaking immersive experience — part digital art installation, part cultural journey through Houston's Latino neighborhoods. Viewers didn't just see vivid murals and paintings; they heard familiar music, felt the pulse of the community, and experienced Latino art in its full urban context.

MPAC co-founder Jesse E. Rodriguez serves on the CMALS board, and this collaboration reflects MPAC's ongoing commitment to celebrating and elevating Chicano and Latino art beyond Magnolia Park.
