Created by Vanessa Mendoza My main focus on this research was to focus on Representation, I've noticed that I personally didn't know any people of color printmakers. Luckily ASU's Hayden library has a Chicano research department and special collections of books that I had as a great resource. My personal journey of seeking out people of color in the printmaking community has always been somewhat of a struggle for me. So to realize that ASU has a large collection of prints surrounding the Chicano culture and an array of topics like discussing the social issues surrounding immigration was more than inspirational and powerful to physically touch and see these prints in person. Arizona State University has an amazing collection of printmaking prints throughout campus. One of the collections I've decided to research was created by Culturestrike called Migration Now which is located at Hayden Library in Tempe on the Luhrs Room which is on the fourth floor. Migration Now portfolio consists of 37 prints that surround the social issues that affect migration. The limited edition portfolio consists of 140 portfolios and was created in 2012. The political posters are 12x18 in size and include different printmaking styles like relief, letterpress and screen printing. Id hate to copy and paste but if you're looking for printmakers of color here are the contributing artists: Lalo Alcaraz -- Santiago Armengod -- Felipe Baeza -- Jesus Barraza -- Shaun Slifer & Janay Brun -- Kevin Caplicki -- Melanie Cervantes -- Irina Crisis -- Raoul Deal -- Emory Douglas -- El Mac -- Molly Fair -- Thea Gahr -- Art Hazelwood -- Ray Hernandez -- Nicolas Lampert -- Josh MacPhee -- Oscar Magallanes -- Fernando Marti -- Colin Matthes -- Cesar Maxit -- Dylan Miner -- Claude Moller -- Oree Originol -- Diane Ovalle -- Roger Peet -- Jesse Purcell -- Favianna Rodriguez -- Erik Ruin -- Julio Salgado -- Meredith Stern -- Mary Trem onte -- Kristine Virsis -- Pete Yahnke Railand -- Imin Yeh -- Ernesto Yerena Montejano -- Bec Young Chicano Research Collection at the ASU Hayden Library. http://libguides.asu.edu/chicanocollection http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b6412637 http://www.culturestrike.org/ http://migrationnow.com/ If you want to look at the portfolio in person you can by giving the librarian this info: Migration Now : a print portfolio of handmade prints addressing migrant issues Call # JV6335 .J87 2012 Folio

I really hope you were able to view the recent show Ni De Aquí Ni De Allá / Neither Here Nor There: Contemporary Mexican Printmaking on Both Sides of the Border at Step Gallery on Grant Street. Not to say that immigration hasn't been a big issue across many cultures and societies throughout global history, but this specific issue concerning migration of Hispanic cultures is extremely relevant to the times we live in now. It is always fascinating to see how artist's interpret and make commentary on this social issue and get a chance to observe what they bring to the table and how they visualize it. The artists included in the aforementioned show were: Francisco Alonzo, Alan Altamirano (Mk Kabrito), Julia Caporal Chema Chino, Juan De Dios Mora, Fernando De León, Janet Diaz, Sebastian Gallegos, Armando Gómez, Gabriela González, Abraham González Pacheco, Rogelio Gutierrez, ISTO Miguel Ledezma, Rosalie López, Emmanuel López López, Gabriela Martinez, Xilberto L. Nunéz, Carmen Razo, Coral Revueltas, Humberto Saenz, and Alejandro Villalbazo.... I got to meet Juan De Dios Mora recently and unexpectedly over spring break at a reception for his work in Nacogdoches, Texas. If you like block and lino prints he would be a great artist to reference. Excellent work, and thank you for the insight, I will make sure to check out this collection at the library.

You might be interested in the artist Enrique Chagoya, he is a great printmaker: "juxtaposes secular, popular, and religious symbols in order to address the ongoing cultural clash between the United States, Latin America and the world as well" - from his website. Comments are closed.
