Featured in the Briscoe’s permanent collection and renowned for her luminous portrayals of Spanish traditions, Roldán-de-Moras is celebrated for capturing the elegance and movement of Mexican escaramuzas, the passion of flamenco dancers and the enduring beauty of Hispanic heritage.
She draws inspiration from the Spanish heritage passed down by her maternal grandfather, a lifelong charro who helped establish charrería as Mexico’s national sport. That personal connection to the traditions celebrated throughout Tejano Legacy has become a defining influence in her work, making this masterclass a natural extension of the exhibition.
Delve into the rich history and enduring legacy of Tejanos and explore the importance of preserving family histories and cultural traditions during an evening with two respected historians dedicated to preserving South Texas history!
Edna Campos Gravenhorst, an author, researcher and local historian, shares her work documenting her family’s journey from Spain to South Texas. Her family’s history in South Texas dates back to 1750.
She is joined by eighth-generation Tejano Homero Salinas Vera, a historian, publisher and descendant of early Spanish settlers in Nuevo Santander, who offers a personal perspective on his family’s ranching heritage and the
generations of Tejanos who helped shape South Texas.
