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.

“Puro Conjunto: Border(less) Sound” celebrates how this uniquely Texan genre continues to thrive in San Antonio, the region, and beyond. The exhibit will highlight the people, places, and traditions at the heart of conjunto. Museum visitors will see conjunto pioneer Bruno Villarreal’s accordion, along with artifacts central to the genre—some of which will be on display for the first time--along with loans from the community and other organizations. Additionally, visitors are invited to get hands-on with a selection of musical instruments at an interactive station on the exhibit floor.
