Uniquely is a Fresno Bee series that covers the moments, landmarks and personalities that define what makes living in the Fresno area so special.
What makes the ‘Guadalajara, Sister City’ photographic exhibition unique is the location of where is being displayed: The exterior fence of the Consulate of México in northeast Fresno.
The Art on the Fence exhibition is part of the consulate’s cultural project that aims to bring art closer to the public, by displaying it on the exterior fence of its facility for the public to visit at any time and day of the week.
You can check the exhibit at 7435 N Ingram Avenue, in north Fresno at the southwest corner of W. Alluvial Avenue.
The ‘Guadalajara, Sister City’ photographic exhibition commemorates the second anniversary of the signing of the “sisterhood agreement between Guadalajara and Fresno.”

The exhibition consists of 12 photographs by Guadalajara-born photographer Luis Ramírez Corral, whose work showed emblematic places and iconic traditions of Guadalajara – one of the three main cities of the country – that represents México in the collective international imaginary.
“They try to capture the essence of what Guadalajara is, its culture, its traditions, iconic places of the city,” said head consul Nuria P. Zuñiga Alaniz.
Zuñiga Alaniz said the project was inspired by the open gallery of the Chapultepec Park in México City.
“It has to do with making urban places more friendly for people and at the same time bringing some culture to everyone because it is open, they can go at any time they want,” Zuñiga Alaniz said.
‘Guadalajara, Sister City’ is the fourth exhibition at the consulate’s fence. The project started last year with an exhibition from ‘Colima,’ followed by ‘The Catrinas of Japan’ and early this year ‘Afro-descendants from México.’
The consulate’s goal is to change the exhibit every three months and to have about three or four exhibitions a year.
