Bold Caballeros y Noble Bandidas

This exhibition explores Mexican popular culture inspired by the Mexican Revolution and the development of U.S.-Mexico relations. Organized by the Autry National Center of the American West in association with Arizona State University’s Hispanic Research Center, the exhibition uses art, historical footage, feature films, music, and popular culture to understand the changes in the Americas initiated by the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Creating a mythology that endures in Mexico and the United States, towering figures such as Emiliano Zapata and Francisco “Pancho” Villa inspired a vast creative output that continues to shape the identity of the United States–Mexico borderlands.  Bold Caballeros y Noble Bandidas is part of the Autry’s expanding effort to explore the Latino experience in the American West and cross-cultural influences.

Home Lands: How Women Made the West

From ancient pueblos to modern suburbs, women have shaped the Western landscape through choices about how to sustain home, family, and community. Home Lands: How Women Made the West brings together women's history, Western history, and environmental history to show how women have been at the heart of the Western enterprise across cultures and over time. Historical artifacts, art, photographs, and biographies of individual women will lead visitors through four distinctive Western environments created and inhabited by women.
