Regional U.S. - Latin Art in Minnesota: Conversations and What’s Next

Description

Book Synopsis: A richly illustrated and personal presentation of the lives and careers of twelve Latin American artists in Minnesota. The art created by Latin Americans in Minnesota is as diverse as the homelands of these artists—an array of sculpture, paintings, photography, ceramics, films, murals, installations, and performance made by artists originally from Mexico, Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, and Tejana and Chicano cultures. Exploring crucial themes of immigration, identity, and the preservation of traditions in diaspora, the twelve artists featured in this book share their stories and experiences candidly in interviews conducted by other Latino leaders and activists from Minnesota. These casual conversations reveal a unique and intimate perspective of this vibrant arts community. From the collectives that have united some of these artists in collaboration, to dynamic responses to social injustice and a vital presence in galleries, museums, and universities throughout the state, this volume shows how Latin American art is significant and vigorously active in Minnesota—with much more creativity still to come.
