Abstract
Designed and helped to install the exhibit 'El Paso: The Other Side of the Mexcian Revolution' on display on display October 1, 2010 to January 10, 2011 at the El Paso Museum of History. This bilingual exhibit's content was created by faculty and students of UTEP's Department of History and coincided with the 2010 100th anniversary of the start of the Mexican Revolution. As a strategic base for revolutionaries and home to the largest ethnic-Mexican population in the United States at the time, the city of El Paso became a major site of cultural production by journalists, writers, businessmen, photographers, filmmakers, and musicians. This culture not only chronicled the Revolution, but was itself a battleground of images and ideas. A portion of the original exhibit is on permanent display on the museum's second floor.
