Third Root of Mexico:
​Photo Exhibit by Sal Rojas

January 25 - February 28, 2018
Free & Open to the Public
Available upon request. 
Please call (615) 292-3023 to schedule appointments.
​
Photographer Sal Rojas will take you on a visual journey exploring the Roots, Culture & Life of the Afro-Mexicans. Afro-Mexicans make up more than 5% of Mexico’s population; yet remain invisible to the majority of Mexicans. 

The Third Root is a visual experience like no other, as it unveils the unseen community of the Costa Chica area of Oaxaca and southern Guerrero, Mexico. Look into the eyes of those who have been suppressed from Mexico’s mainstream culture, as the photographs tell their story. 

The Third Root Photo Exhibition is a preview of the documentary television series “Afro-Latinos - An Untaught History" produced independently by Director/Producer Renzo Devia of Creador Pictures, LLC. The documentary series illustrates the history and celebrate the rich Culture of people of African descent throughout Latin America. There will be a viewing of the documentary at Global Education Center on February 3, 2018. To find out more information, please click here.

With this photography exhibit we hope to bring attention to Mexico’s “Third Root,” the Afro-Mexican legacy.
