Heroes Welcome or el Museo de los Perdidos exhibits recent works of artists Raúl González and Elaine Bay. Experience an immersive installation with large-scale drawings, reused objects, sound and videos that explores the poverty and violence of "la frontera". Using the language of old cartoons, cultural stereotypes and images of the old-time west, these striking works examine the depth of human cruelty and compassion.
