I don't know anything about Alejandro Pintado, but I tend to love Mexican artists and the arts programming that the Mexican Cultural Institute puts on.  If you've never been, you should.

I was tipped off to tonight's talk by local artist Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi, whose work I love, and who was enthusiastic about "The Path of Knowledge" as tonight's talk is dubbed. A search of his images yields some pretty interesting work that spans drawing, collage, painting, and installation.

While you're there you can also check out the exhibit Guerrero: 7 Regions of Art and Tradition which explores the "richly diverse blend of geography, ethnicity, and culture. Home to four major ethnic groups—Mixtec, Nahua, Tlapanec, and Amuzgo—Guerrero is divided into seven regions with distinctive artistic cultures."

Talk starts at 6:30pm tonight, Wednesday, October 16th, 2013 at the Mexican Cultural Institute, 2829 16th St., NW.
