PRINTING THE REVOLUTION: THE RISE & IMPACT OF CHICANO GRAPHICS 1965 TO NOW
A groundbreaking look at how Chicano graphic artists and their collaborators have used their work to imagine and sustain identities and political viewpoints during the past half century.
The 1960s witnessed the rise of the Chicano civil rights movement, or El Movimiento, and marked a new way of being a person of Mexican descent in the United States. To call oneself Chicano—a formerly derogatory term—became a political and cultural statement, and Chicano graphic artists asserted this identity through their printmaking and activism.
¡Printing the Revolution! explores the remarkable legacy of Chicano graphic arts relative to major social movements, the way these artists and their cross-cultural collaborators advanced printmaking methods, and the medium’s unique role in shaping critical debates about U.S. identity and history.
