I don't know if it's better to say individual exhibitions or solo exhibitions
The paragraph "Ha dictado cursos de técnicas y apreciación fotográfica, en Universidades y centros culturales como la UANL, CEDIM, ARTE AC, MARCO, CASA DE LA CULTURA, entre otros." should read he has thaught technique and visual apreciation courses or something like that, but I'm not sure how to say it, any ideas?
Thanks again
