Episode 18: Being Chicano

Nuevas Voces

Artistic expression has remained central to exploring and defining the Chicano identity since the beginnings of the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s. In many ways, being Chicano is about standing up for social equality, resisting discrimination, honoring one's Latino/a and indigenous heritage, and defying negative portrayals of Mexican-American culture. In this episode we explore what it means to be Chicano, and the work of the Asco art collective of the 1970s. https://www.artesmexut.org/part18
