Latinx Identity Zine Workshop and Talk with Curious Publishing Editor-In-Chief Rebecca Ustrell
Saturday, March 7, 10:30 a.m.–noon, All Ages, RSVP online as seating is limited; materials included, but we encourage you to bring your own printed poems and black & white images
What is a zine? We’ll discuss the origins of the small-circulation magazines called “zines” and how to create small volumes of your own artwork, ideas, and poetry that incorporate themes of Latinx identity. Learn the basics of zine-making construction and layout using the saddle-stitch binding method.
Chicano Art Then and Now
Saturday, March 7, 1 p.m.–2 p.m., RSVP online as seating is limited
In celebration of The Cheech, the first Chicano art museum in the nation scheduled to open in Riverside in 2021, join The Arts Area for a discussion on the Chicano art movement then and now. A panel of Chicanx artists and scholars will consider how the themes and functions of Chicano Art have evolved within this artistic community since the 1960s. What does the movement and art express for the new Chicanx generation today and what is its role in shaping new perceptions of Chicanx identity? Selections of works from The Cheech collection will be highlighted alongside new works from contemporary Chicanx artists.
