Visual artists Alberto Aguilar, Sandy Rodriguez, and John Valadez embody two generations of Chicanx artists. Firmly grounded in the history and urban fabric of their communities, their work shows continuities and ruptures with the classic period of El movimiento. This prompts the question: How have Chicanx artists responded to the reconfigurations in identity since the pandemic and the tumultuous years that followed? In this conversation, Aguilar, Rodriguez and Valadez will discuss how their work builds new understandings of a Mexican American past, present, and future in the US. This conversation is moderated by Cesáreo Moreno, Visual Arts Director and Chief Curator, National Museum of Mexican Art and Josh T. Franco, Associate Director of Special Initiatives, USLAF. This program is part of X as Intersection, a four-part virtual public program series featuring conversations with fellows from the fourth cohort of the Latinx Artist Fellowship, an initiative of the US Latinx Art Forum. Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish provided by Babilla Collective.
