Juarez

I crossed over into Ciudad Juarez on May 10, 2027 (the first time I have been in Mexico since 2019) to meet the printmaking professors at UACJ (the University of Ciudad Juarez):

I met three of the printmaking professors at the new "Los Entin-Tan" taller, now in Plaza Cervantina:

Luis Roacho -- Artes Visuales

Eduardo Reyes -- Diseno/Filosofia

Candido Valdez -- Printmaking

Print by Luis Roacho

Unfortunately I did not get to see Yorch (Jorge Perez), who I believe runs the printmaking studio EnTin-Tan, and will soon locate his panaderia in Plaza Cervantina.  Yorch contributed to our Desert Triangle Print Carpeta print portfolio:

Yorch had a BUCKET EXHIBITIONS show at previous panaderia location, on the street 16 de Septiembre:

I used to buy Papel Amate at MONARCA PADI in Juarez, which apparently has moved.  We like printing on this paper:
