About this event
Activist Chicano artists have channeled their social consciousness into assertive political and cultural statements over the last 60 years. Using the art of printmaking, they have sought to raise awareness & action among Americans of Mexican descent. This presentation will use examples from the recent Chicano Graphics exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum to explore the rise of innovative Chicano printmaking in solidarity with civil rights and social justice movements. Also, the artwork seeks to revise notions of Chicanx identity & familiarize viewers with new understandings of U.S. & international history. To register, email park21217@aol.com by Sept. 19. Hosted by North Bethesda Village.
