Coming in the new year 2024, the Center of the American West welcomes our first in-house exhibition:
Charrería: exploring the human-horse connection in Mexican Rodeo
For ten years, CU alum Chris Sessions has been documenting charrería (also known as Mexican Rodeo) as experienced by Colorado-local professionals, their families and communities - including their horses. From masterful use of the lasso to the skirmish techniques of the female-led escaramuzas, the 21 stunning black & white and color photographs selected for this exhibit speak to the undeniable connection between horse & rider.
In scales both vast and intimate, come witness a rich tradition as it plays out in the current complexity of the American West.
