Dreamers on the Borderline: The Art of Sandra Fernández
This talk examines the prints of Ecuadorian-American artist Sandra Fernández and her appeals for immigrant rights. In recent works such as Caution: Dreamers in/on sight (2013), she finds ways to reinsert the mixed-race body into geographic representations in order to challenge the disembodied projection of port of entry maps. Her work critiques current immigration policy and the racial knowledge it produces on undocumented subjects.
“¡Printing the Revolution!” Virtual Conversation Series: Legacy of Printmaking
On March 25, 2021, the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) presented a virtual conversation featuring artists included in the landmark exhibition ¡Printing the Revolution!: The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now. The conversation highlighted how Chicanx artists and print centers have welcomed, nurtured, and collaborated with non-Chicanx artists from the early civil rights era to today, creating a long legacy of influence and support across communities. Participants include Jos Sances, a San Francisco–based artist and master printer, who co-founded Mission Gráfica in 1980, founded Alliance Graphics in 1989, and is a founding member of the performance group The Great Tortilla Conspiracy; and Pepe Coronado, founder of the Coronado Print Studio and a founding member of the Dominican York Proyecto GRAFICA, a collective of Dominican American artists devoted to printmaking and the exploration of Dominican diasporic history and culture. This virtual conversation is moderated by Tatiana Reinoza, a specialist in Latinx printmaking and assistant professor of art history at the University of Notre Dame. Reinoza is also a contributor to the “¡Printing the Revolution!” catalogue.
