The exhibition included 33 cast fiberglass replicas of San Lorenzo Monument 1, slightly smaller than the original, that have each been painted by a different artist and installed at locations around DuPage County, IL, from 30 June–15 Oct. 2024. The exhibition was conceived by Fernando Ramirez, artist and founder of the Mexican Cultural Center of DuPage, and was accomplished in collaboration with Meztli Mexico, the College of DuPage, and the DuPage Convention and Visitors Bureau. Full information about the participating artists and the locations of the heads can be found at the Exhibition website.
