Small Town Texas
Photographs by Ricardo Romo
March 25 - May 23
The Institute of Texan Cultures will host UTSA President Ricardo Romo’s Small Town Texas photo exhibition.

Small Town Texas, curated by Arturo Almeida, presents poetic landscapes captured in many small towns, including Floresville, Devine, Pearsall, Kingsbury, Cuero, Yoakum, and Nixon.

Romo's photographs convey the learned observations of a historian. The works in this exhibit examine the historical nature of small towns in Texas. A dedicated observer of the small communities that dot the Texas horizon, Romo embarked on a photographic journey with the goal of documenting the cultural and social features of a fading way of life.

Romo became the fifth president of The University of Texas at San Antonio in May 1999. A native of San Antonio’s West Side, Romo graduated from Fox Tech High School and attended The University of Texas at Austin where he received a bachelor of science in education. He holds a master's degree in history from Loyola Marymount University and a Ph.D. in history from the University of California-Los Angeles.

RACE: Are We So Different?
Jan. 23 – May 16
We all know that people look different. Throughout history, those differences have been a source of strength, community, and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.

RACE: Are We So Different? explores three primary themes: the science of human variation, the history of the idea of race, and the contemporary experience of race and racism in the U.S.
