The legacy of Latinx isn't as centered at mainstream museums or galleries. Instead, this legacy is held by community centers, libraries, artist cooperatives, and other grassroots initiatives, which have nurtured the work and unique needs of Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/e/x artists as a response to their historical exclusion at major art institutions. From the Civil Rights Movement to our contemporary moment, this seminar explores how artists, activists, students, and faculty have developed both formal and informal programs to support art production, facilitate artist mentorship and networking, and build collections of art and archives. Additionally, this seminar aims to contribute to the documentation of these dynamic art legacies by creating educational resources, such as short didactic texts, oral history interviews, and other research-based and creative approaches.
