 '''Artist:''' Anna-Marie Lopez
 '''Confronting Bodies:''' Centro Cultural Aztlan
+'''Date of Action:''' 2006
-'''Dates of Action:''' 2006
 '''Location:''' San Antonio, Texas
+'''Description of Artwork:''' Lopez's ''Virgin'' is a large painting of the Virgen de Guadalupe.  In Lopez's painting, the Virgen is naked except for a blue mantle and a strategically placed serpent; she wears a human heart on a strand around her neck and stands behind a barbed-wire fence. <P>
+'''The Incident:''' Lopez's ''Virgin'' was selected for inclusion in the Centro Cultural Aztlan's Galeria Expresion. However, four days before the exhibit went up, Centro decided to reject the painting.  It appears that the reason the work was rejected was the non-traditional way it represented the Virgen, which the Centro saw as a potential source of controversy.   <P>
