Marcos Ramirez 'ERRE' - lecture - 4 June 09 @ Woodbury


Marcos Ramirez is a trained lawyer, turned carpenter, who found himself within the world of art later in his career. As an Artist, he has been able to focus his skills and experience into a single force towards the criticism and celebration of identity, culture, public policy, and stereotypes on the bi-national level, specific to the US and Mexico. His lecture introduced us to the many realities of Tijuana, including his first-hand accounts of violence and turmoil as well as notable moments of love and acceptance. "ERRE" is the founder of Estacion Tijuana, a non-profit located at the Border neighborhood of Colonia Federal focusing on Art, Architecture, Urbanism and Culture.
