About the Item

11 layer-screen print on archival 100% cotton rag paper. Measures 15x22 inches. Based on original linocut from the Al Norte y P’atras/North and Back series. Depicts farm workers in my hometown of Salinas, California. Álvaro D. Márquez is a visual artist and part-time professor of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Cal State LA. Much of Marquez's work explores art as social inquiry, looking at the history of displacement in the Americas, starting with Indigenous dispossession after European conquest, following through to current issues around gentrification and homelessness. Marquez was born into the working-class migrant community of East Salinas, in California’s Central Coast. Coming from three generations of migrant farm workers, his upbringing in this community informs his work as an artist, researcher, and advocate.
