When
Celebrated Mexico-based photographers, including one (Bernandino Hernández) badly beaten by police who took his cameras early in January, discussed the challenges in covering Mexican violence at a panel titled, "A Lens on Mexico’s Mean Streets.” Prof. Mort Rosenblum, co-director of the Center, moderated the event with Hernández and AP Photo Editor Enric Martí at the UA Main Library’s Information Commons Room 112A. Photographer Enrico Dagnino also was on hand to show a trailer for his documentary on Hernández, whose electrifying photos of life and death in Acapulco convey the tragic irony of a peaceable people suffering indescribable violence. The four also appeared at a MOCA reception on Feb. 12, and Prof. Kim Newton displayed a dozen of Hernández's photos at the J-school.
