About Tzompantli Experience an annual exhibition that invites artists from Mexico and beyond to reflect on the past year through the image of a skull, presented in the style of a traditional Tzompantli—a pre-Hispanic skull rack symbolizing life, memory, and ancestry.
Originating from the First Bi-National Artistic Conference in 2019, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Institute of Mexicans Abroad in Mexico City, this unique display encourages artists to share their reflections, connecting and growing a cross-cultural community through art.
About La Peña La Peña is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Economic Growth & Redevelopment Services Office/Cultural Arts Division and by grants from the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation, the Texas Commission of the Arts, CoYoTe Phoenix, and an award from the National Endowment on the Arts, believing an investment in the Arts is an investment in Austin’s future.
