About the Item

Medium: linocut Image size: 12 x 12 inches Edition size: 11 Year: 2022 In Aztec mythology, Xolotl is the god of lightning, death, and fire. He is also considered to be the god of twins, diseases, deformities, and misfortune. 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.

Medium: Screenprint Year: 2019 Image Size: 24 x 24 inches Edition Size: 10 Image of a native American woman in traditional garb and ceremonial dance. As a cultural activist/artist/printmaker, Juan Fuentes has dedicated his career to being part of a global movement for social change. His works address issues relating to local communities of color, social justice, and international struggles for liberation. The turbulent times of the 70’s set the tone for Fuentes' approach to creating social art. The Chicano, African American, Middle Eastern, Asian and Native American struggles for equality, peace and justice helped shape the themes that recur in his art. His development and introduction to silkscreen printing by mentors such as Rupert Garcia and Malaquias Montoya guided his subsequent community and political poster involvement. Fuentes' relief printing process follows closely the social realist tradition of Latin American artists such as Jose Guadalupe Posada...
