| 09:00-17:00 | “Birds of Mexico” CIPAMEX Photographic ExhibitAn exhibit featuring the work of Mexican bird photographers —many of them are also scientists— represents the first display of its kind to our knowledge. It will showcase 100 pictures of over 25 photographers, including many well-known contemporary masters in Mexico. The exhibit represents diverse styles: from landscape views of bird assemblages, close-ups of Mexican avian species, to purely artistic snapshots. This exhibit runs concurrently with the conference (09:00-17:00, Wednesday-Friday) in the Veracruz World Trade Center, outside the Ulúa Rooms. Many of the artists will be present to meet visitors during the poster session on Friday evening. All the pieces will be available for sale. The exhibit is conceived and organized by Marco Antonio González Bernal of Pronatura Noroeste and a member of CIPAMEX. |
