The Rodeo Clown / The Guardian Angel of Jaripeos

Responsible for keeping the Jinete safe and out of harms way after they’ve fallen off the bull

One of my favorite portraits during last year’s Jaripeo season.

In the world of Jaripeo you have ganaderias de toros - which are the ranches that raises and care for the cattle livestock. Ganaderias travel around different Jaripeos showing off their bulls and building up their reputation by challenging jinetes up and down Mexico and the United States.

This is a @rancholarevoluzionoficial bull who traveled all the way from Michoacan to challenge Jinetes in Philadelphia.

Rodeo Tierra Caliente at the Lighthouse Sport Complex Field in Philadelphia | August 2023

Next Spring marks 20 years since my family and I emigrated from Mexico. I left Mexico when I was 4 years old. As I grow older the memories of living in Mexico and arriving to New York begin to get fuzzier and blurrier. I can’t distinguish what memories I actually remember, and what memories are an amalgamation of oral stories, family photo albums, and media consumption. I’ve come to methodologize Mexico and my identity. In documenting Jaripeos this summer I’ve found the rodeo to be a safe haven and sanctuary for Mexican mythology, a place whereimmigrants thousands of miles from home can escape andbecome cowboys for the weekend.

Got to share this image and some few more memories of the rodeo in Summer of Something Special Vol 5 🫶🏽 @somethingspecialstudios
