Spring 2025: Thursday, 10:30 am - 1:15 pm
Interdisciplinary A202 (Session C)
What is the function of art in the Chicano community from the Chicano Movement through today?
—————————————————————
What complexities does the term Chicano encompass? How have artists grappled with that through time and continue to grapple with that today?
—————————————————————
How does Chicano Art demand greater representation for the Chicano community both within the art world as well as U.S society broadly construed?
—————————————————————
What is the relationship between Chicano art and Latinx art? Where do they share concerns and where do their concerns differ?
—————————————————————
What is the relationship between art and politics for the Chicano community?
What are the heterogeneous concerns of the Chicano community and how are they reflected in the artwork that community has produced over time?
Faculty, museum curator, and students will collaborate to create a collection handbook to accompany an exhibition at the ASU Art Museum of the Hispanic Research Center’s art collection. This exhibition aims to elevate Latinx Printmaking and the ways it has shaped American art. The students will gain knowledge of artistic preservation and curation as well as formal and thematic elements of Latinx art. Student teams will draft, write, design, and publish a catalog for the exhibition as their course outcome.
