This contemporary gallery is dedicated to artist Alejandro Santiago (1965–2013), creator of the most celebrated work of recent Oaxacan art – his installation 2501 Migrantes , comprising 2501 different human figures sculpted in clay, representing all the people who had migrated for economic reasons from his home village of Teococuilco in Oaxaca's northern mountains. The work is the subject of a fascinating documentary film directed by Oaxacan Yolanda Cruz, 2501 Migrants .
