Lowriders on the Plaza

Friday night was the opening of El Favor de los Santos, an exhibition that Monica worked on, which features retablos from the NMSU collection. One of the additions made by the curator at the Palace was the inclusion of contemporary retablos, like a hood of a lowrider. So, for the opening, they had a whole bunch of lowriders in front of the Palace.
