Visitors and locals alike flock to San Antonio’s Historic Market Square to get a broad, if perhaps superficial, taste of Texas’s rich Latino heritage: classic Tex-Mex fare, mariachi performers, and knockoff versions of traditional handicrafts. For the next four months, visitors to the odd mixture of living monument and tourist trap will also have the option to engage on more sophisticated terms with the present and future of this huge, diverse, and ever-changing culture, thanks to the savvy exhibition “Soy de Tejas: A Statewide Survey of Latinx Art” at the Centro de Artes Gallery through July 2.
“Soy de Tejas” is the labor of love of a single San Antonio curator, Rigoberto Luna, who is also the proprietor of Presa House Gallery.
