Centro Cultural Aztlan will present the latest exhibition by Xavier Garza titled "The Return of Quetzalcoatl, Heroes, Villains and Space Monsters."

Legendary characters like La Llorona, los Duendes, and Las Lechuzas return to do battle with ancient deities like Quetzalcoatl. But there is a twist to their return as they are all reinterpreted as visual depictions of modern day lucha libre heroes, villains and monsters. The images pay homage to the golden age of lucha libre films where masked heroes did battle against vampires, zombies, space aliens and other monstrosities.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through August 18.
