A bilingual exhibit featuring more than 50 photos by Berkeley photographer Heather Hafleigh which document the rich cultural tradition of California's charreria, sometimes called Mexican rodeo. Also on display will be some of the traditional costumes and saddles used in this sport. Punta In the sixteenth century cattle ranching extended throughout most of Mexico, including the region now known as the American Southwest. Skilled cattle workers known as "charros" came together frequently to work at rounding up and branding cattle. Frequently they engaged in displays of equestrian skills and fancy roping on the side. These friendly demonstrations eventually evolved into the "Charreria," a culture, tradition, sport, and art involving both men and women. A central component of Charreria is the "charreada," a festive event that incorporates equestrian competitions and demonstrations, specific costumes, horse trappings, music, and food. Cover Girl Kyle The national sport of Mexico, charreria has become an important cultural link for Mexicans on both sides of the border since its revival in the United States in the 1970's. It will be the subject of a bilingual photographic exhibition at Grace Hudson Museum opening on May 5 and running through July 8, 2007. The exhibition will feature more than 50 photographs of Charreria by Berkeley photographer Heather Hafleigh, as well as the traditional costumes and saddles used by the men (charros) who compete in the roping and riding events, and teams of women (escaramuzas) who execute daring feats and precision maneuvers while riding sidesaddle.
