ESPACIO ZAPATA

We visited the ever changing Espacio Zapata  -- featuring a new mural commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican Revolution hero.


NoteTanya Rich and Karl Whitaker started their first tour of Oaxaca at the Espacio Zapata in 2014.



TALLER-GALERIA SIQUEIROS

Across the street is the Taller-Galeria Siquerios, named after David Alfaro Siqueiros the most controversial of Los Tres Grandes, the 3 big Mexican muralists.
