Description

This course will focus on the analysis of Latina/o/x Artistic production as expressed through paintings, architecture, artifacts, urban-altered spaces, people’s bodily modifications, food innovations, theater, and other performative practices surrounding these communities. The course will examine how political, social, and economic conditions affect how Latina/o/xs relate to art and creativity. This class will argue that through the use, manipulation, and implementation of art, Latina/o/x challenge, transgress, and resist the preconceived notions of traditional art, inscribe new spaces for emancipation, and are able to envision a different world. This is not a survey, nor an ‘idealization’ of the “barrio art world” but rather an analysis about Latina/o/x cultural productions as extensions and expressions of their rich experience in the United States.
