A new exhibit which chronicles the Mexican experience opens at the Bronx Documentary Center on November 15. Photographers Fernando Brito, Alejandro Cartagena, Mauricio Palos and Ruth Prieto Arenas cover a vast range of subjects, from family life in the U.S. to border scenes to the harsh reality of narco-crime and murder in Sinaloa. What all the work shares is the common thread of migration, and its deep effects on individuals, families and communities.
