{"value"=>"<p><span class=\"title\">Mexico Profundo \"Light and Shadows\"</span> was a 2014 photography exhibit that displayed prints of traditional Mexican dances that occur during fiestas by five Mexican photographers. The five photographers featured in the exhibit were Roberto Aschentrupp, Abril Cabrera Aguilar, Diego Huerta, Mario Aguirre Mazón, and Octavio Nava. The photographs depict traditional dances from the states of Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Michoacán, and the Federal District.</p> <p>The exhibit was coordinated and co-curated by Americas Exchange Program for Dance project coordinator and Fulbright Fellow Juan Manuel D. Medina. At the time, Medina had been facilitating the exchange of dance materials between the United States and Mexico for more than twenty years. Then New York Public Library Dance Division Assistant Curator Danielle Castronovo and Mexican photographer Roberto Aschentrupp also co-curated the exhibit.</p> <p>The exhibit's objective was to promote indigenous culture worldwide within the framework of the World Conference of Indigenous People held in New York City in September 2014. It opened at Hunter College on September 16, 2014, and was displayed simultaneously at Hunter College for two weeks and at the reading room of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts for two months. The exhibit was funded by the Centro de Estudios Sociales y Opinión Pública (CESOP) and la Cámara de Diputados de México.</p>"}
