A review essay by Nestor David Pastor for Intervenxions, the Latinx arts and culture publication of the Latinx Project at New York University, revisiting the 1985 "Orisha/Santos" exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art, which paired eight steel sculptures by the artist Jorge Luis Rodriguez with the same eight orisha-to-saint correspondences the Georgetown print carries: Elegua, Orunla, Shango, Ogun, Obatala, Ochun, Yemaya and Olofi, each given what the essay calls a subtle, figurative reference to its Catholic saint counterpart.

Tier three: a university-affiliated arts and culture publication's review essay, used here only to corroborate the eight-power convention and its saint pairings on a distinct, comparable object, not for facts specific to the Georgetown lithograph.
