Course Catalog Description
The class focuses on the methods developed by Chicana/o artists in the 1970s to engage and maintain relationships in community as a way of keeping meXicana culture alive and growing in the US. This methodology uses art as a strategy of recovering Mexican cultural traditions to create sacred spaces rooted in the opposition to colonialism and as a strategy to understand and reflect on the resistance to assimilation, the implicit societal pressure to step away from tradition(s) and the relationships that are forged in the practice of these traditions.
