Historian Eyal Weinberg (Florida Atlantic University) offers an overview of the Mexican Revolution, highlighting the political, social, and cultural transformations it introduced during the 1910s and 1920s. The Revolution had a profound effect on artists such as Kahlo, Rivera, Siqueiros, and many more who were inspired by its political and social imagery. The talk thus explores the dramatic histories that inform the visual works in this Norton exhibition.

One of the finest mariachi groups in South Florida, Mariachi Veracruz performs an extensive repertoire including the most popular songs from Mexican folklore and Latin music. Enjoy their unforgettable music in the Museum’s Stiller Auditorium after the lecture.
