Wrestlers, or luchadores, are often admired by the fans as heroes. Their masks—and secret identities—may represent Aztec warriors, Christian saints or comic book superheroes, but they always fight for the common person—workers, farmers and the poor. At this drop-in workshop, check out artist Dulce Pinzon’s photographic series La verdadera historia de los superheros in the exhibition Cara vemos, corazones no sabemos, then make your own luchador mask from a paper grocery bag. Real luchadores from Lucha VaVoom will make a special guest appearance at this whimsical afternoon workshop.
