An Investigation of Mexican Gravesites in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Laredo, Texas (open access)

An Investigation of Mexican Gravesites in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Laredo, Texas

My work already shared some of the characteristics of the gravesites that I proposed to study. They were similar in that they both attempted to integrate sacred and profane imagery. Both called attention to personal events and related these events to a larger scheme. Finally, both were involved with the creation of objects of veneration according to personal edicts, but in relation to already established mythologies. I proposed to create a body of work based on the information gathered from the investigation of three predominantly Mexican graveyards-- one in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and two outside of Laredo, Texas.
