Explore MACRI’s new traveling exhibit, You Have the Right: Mexican Americans and Due Process of the Law.

This exhibit explores three court cases involving Mexican Americans and Mexican-perceived individuals that have been significant to the interpretation of the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments and shaped interpretation of due process of the law in the United States: Miranda v. Arizona (1966), United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975), and Chavez v. Martinez (2003).

The verdict in these cases, whose plaintiffs were Mexican American and Latino individuals, affect all Americans today. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) secured what we now call our “Miranda rights;” United States v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975) prohibited law enforcement from stopping and questioning someone on the basis of their appearance; and Chavez v. Martinez (2003) marked a rollback in protections from coercive questioning from authorities.

The three moments featured in this exhibit remind us that the interpretation of constitutional amendments is constantly debated in courts at all levels of government, and can result in expansions and contractions of civil rights. The legal struggle for civil rights is continuous, and rarely a linear progression.

The exhibit will be on display from Monday, April 27, 2026 through Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

The exhibit gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 AM—NOON and 1 – 4 PM, or by appointment.

MACRI’s programs are funded in part by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture, Bexar County, the Mellon Foundation, the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation, Spurs Give, and individual donors like you! Gracias!

Selena Forever | Siempre Selena is a photographic exhibition featuring images by Texas photographer John Dyer, capturing Selena at a pivotal moment in her rise to stardom.
On View: June 4, 2026 – January 4, 2027

This exhibition features intimate and striking photographs captured during Selena’s rise to international stardom in the early 1990s. The exhibition offers an intimate look at an artist whose talent, charisma and determination transformed Tejano music and helped redefine representation for Mexican American women in popular culture. The featured images have never been displayed together, giving new context to Dyer’s work with Selena.

More than a music icon, Selena was a groundbreaking Tejana whose story reflected the spirit of the American West itself: bold, resilient, entrepreneurial and deeply connected to culture and community. Like generations of Tejanos who helped shape Texas through perseverance, innovation and cultural pride, Selena forged her own path while carrying the traditions of her community forward. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations, embodying the pioneering spirit, creativity and determination that remain central to the story of the West.

“Selena’s story is deeply connected to the cultural pride and artistic expression that define Tejano identity,” said Jackson. “Her influence transcends music and continues to inspire audiences across generations, making her an important part of this broader cultural conversation. The exhibition shares an icon who demonstrates the lasting influence of Tejanos – and Tejanas – in Texas and beyond.

Are you ready to scale up from a rain barrel, or want to start harvesting large amounts of rainwater for your home, garden, or both? Turn water scarcity into water abundance. Rainwater harvesting can reduce stormwater runoff, lower your water bill and keep your landscape green all year long.

Join us to learn more about medium to large scale rainwater harvesting for residential and commercial applications. We’ll cover water catchment basics, tanks, filtration, pumps, codes, water budgeting, potential catchment volume calculations and designing water harvesting plans specific to our region.

This is a very detailed, online workshop. If you are looking for an entry level RWH workshop, or you aren’t sure if RWH is for you, try taking our “Is Rainwater Harvesting for Me?” workshop first.

Please note that this workshop is a requirement to receive the SAWS WaterSaver Cistern Rebate.

Remember landline phones? Okay, now remember when you had to *share* your landline with another tenant in your apartment building? The old “party line” leads to laughs and shenanigans between Doris Day and Rock Hudson who star as a career woman and playboy songwriter who feud over use of the phone line, but naturally, fall for one another.

Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Actress for Day and Best Supporting Actress for Thelma Ritter, Pillow Talk won Best Original Screenplay, and remains as witty today as when it was first released in 1959 – even if you have to imagine what old tech was like!
