The Getty Center will present the discussion, ”Chicano Culture in the Arts” on Sunday, January 27, 2008 at 4 pm.
The discussion will be moderated by Luis Rodriguez, author of “Always Running“. The discussion will feature three prominent Chicano and Chicana panelists including muralist Ernesto de la Loza, the visual storyteller Alma Lopez, and novelist Yxta Maya Murray.
From the Getty website:
The panelists discuss representations of East Los Angeles and Chicano culture in their own work and in the photographs of of Graciela Iturbide, which are featured in the exhibition The Goat’s Dance: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide(on view December 18, 2007–April 13, 2008 at the Getty Center). Do Iturbide’s beautiful portraits of the White Fence gang from the 1980s perpetuate stereotypes or allow us to see beyond them?
