Do not reproduce without permission. THE CSRC ORAL HISTORIES SERIES The CSRC Oral Histories Series publishes the life narratives of prominent Chicano and Latino figures. The life narratives have been recorded and transcribed, and the interviewer and interviewee have reviewed and corrected the transcriptions prior to publication. These oral histories are often undertaken as part of a larger research project and in tandem with archival collections and library holdings. CSRC ORAL HISTORY SERIES PROJECTS L.A. Xicano documents the history of Chicana/o art in Los Angeles with a focus on artists, collectives, and art organizations. The project resulted in new museum and library exhibitions, public programs, archival collections, and scholarly publications. These efforts were part of the Getty Foundation initiative Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A., 1945–1980. The project received support from Getty Foundation, Annenberg Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and California Community Foundation. Related support includes funding from Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, AltaMed Health Services Corporation, Entravision Communications Corporation, Walt Disney Company, and individual donors. A Ver: Revisioning Art History stems from the conviction that individual artists and their coherent bodies of work are the foundation for a meaningful and diverse art history. This book series explores the cultural, aesthetic, and historical contributions of Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, and other U.S. Latino artists. The A Ver project is made possible through the generous support of Getty Foundation, Ford Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Joan Mitchell Foundation, JPMorgan Chase Foundation, and The Rockefeller Foundation. The LGBT and Mujeres Initiative seeks to increase archival and oral history holdings that document the Chicano/Latino presence in LGBT and women’s histories, the role of women and LGBT people in Chicano/ Latino histories, and the importance of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity in “mainstream” scholarly research and archival institutions. The project receives generous support from the Ford Foundation and individual donors. ARTISTS INTERVIEWED FOR THE L.A.

John, why don’t you start by telling me where you were born and the year and how many folks were in your family? John Valadez: I’m fifty-six. I was born in 1951 here in the general hospital, in Los Angeles here. My mother was seventeen when I was born, and my father, I guess, was about nineteen. She was from Garfield High School and he was from Roosevelt High School. They pretty much separated when my brother was born. He was born a year and a half after me—my brother Leonard. We pretty much grew up in the Geraghty— Geraghty Loma area, which is right down from Chávez here. It was Brooklyn [Avenue], it was kind of off of Rowan [Avenue]. It’s kind of where Self Help [Graphics & Arts] is, but up in the hills, overlooking, if you keep going, if you keep going up into the hills, east of the hills. These are called the “sticks.” There’s a bar- rio called Geraghty, Geraghty Loma. The other side is the freeway and the Cal State LA [California State University, Los Angeles]. So we grew up there, with my brother and my mother and myself. And then at a certain point, I don’t know exactly how old I was—six, seven, could have been five—we moved to the Estrada Courts Housing Project. And my mother pretty much raised us. She had a job. She finally got a job as some secretary, I think. My mother never really drove, so every time we had to go somewhere, we’d either be on the bus or one of my aunts would take us with . I pretty much grew up in the neighborhood, let’s say. And from Estrada Courts, that’s where I saw some of the early gang stuff. My brother and I never really joined any of the gangs, because my mother would beat the hell out of us. She was very [strict]. We grew with a very, very strong matriarchal thing. My mom, she was really tough. She was really strict with us about that. But we weren’t really religious. We never really went to church or anything. But she really instilled in us a sense of right and wrong. KD: Was that through expressions, little sayings she would tell you? JV: Oh, yeah. KD: Do you remember any of them? JV: Yeah. Basically anything—basically, about lying. I grew up never really . “Don’t lie!” Basically, as kids—I always remembered that. Ever since then, and from there, I’ve always had a sense that it’s actually easier, I don’t know—just to launch off into that—it’s really easier to be honest. It is, it’s much easier because you start trying to go into this deception stuff, you even deceive yourself. Maybe that’s how I got into the kind of art . I always wanted to be an artist, because I felt like I was always introverted. I stuttered. I had a stuttering problem that kind of kept me quiet, withdrawn. I took speech classes all through grammar school. And I finally got to a point, I think it was in high school, where I finally figured out how to stop stuttering that all these teachers never told us. All these speech teachers, you would take the recorder and they would hear yourself, and someone would want to shame you into speaking clearly. It got to a point where, there was this friend of mine’s father, who said that the reason 1 CSRC ORAL HISTORIES SERIES why I stuttered was because I think faster than I talk and all I had to do was take a deep breath. No one told me that! And sure enough, I’d run out of air. And that’s why you stutter, because you’re trying to talk and you don’t have any air. You’re just a kid, you know? So when I learned that, to just take a breath, sure enough, I could. And that was from years of all these speech classes and all these things that I took. There was this big mystery of why kids stutter. So anyway, that was very interesting. KD: What was your first elementary school? Where did you go? JV: I went to Dakota Street School, which is between Estrada Courts and Wyvernwood. In those days it was Wyvernwood Apartments, right down [along Olympic Boulevard]. When we finally moved from Estrada Courts, we went in there for a while. Then my mother got married for the second time to this Italian guy. That lasted a few years. And from that, we were able to move into Wyvernwood. I think my brother and I were the first Mexican American kids who were able to rent in Wyvernwood, because our mother was married to this Italian guy. We weren’t Mexican kids anymore. So some of my friends in that place, they were—it was all working class families, but they were all Anglo and Jewish. It was the Goldbergs and the Ripleys and the Buckleys. These were friends of mine then. So we grew up in Wyvernwood. Let’s say between when I was ten to twelve until I finally went to East LA College [ELAC].

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Archives, Models, and Methods for Critical Approaches to Identities: Representing Race and Ethnicity in the Digital Humanities A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Information Studies by David J. Kim 2015 © Copyright by David J. Kim 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Archives, Models, and Methods for Critical Approaches to Identities: Representing Race and Ethnicity in the Digital Humanities By David J. Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Information Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Johanna R. Drucker, Chair This dissertation addresses the cultural politics of representation in digital archives of various histories of racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. It critiques the discourse of realism in both digital and archival representations of knowledge about minoritarian identities through case studies that explore the possibilities and the limitations of digital tools and platforms for the minoritarian critique of the archive as the all-encompassing site of knowledge. The first case study presents a digital 3D model of an East Los Angeles public housing complex famous for its numerous murals painted during the Chicana/o movement of the 1970s. Informed by the theorizations of identity formations as spatial practices, the 3D model functions as an immersive digital archive that documents the dialectics of the barrio as represented by the murals. The second case study reimagines the archive of Edward S. Curtis’s The North American Indian (1907- 1930), an influential yet controversial ethnographical work on the Native Americans in ii! ! the early twentieth century. It critiques the essentialism of this extensive work of photographic documentation by exploring the multi-modality and non-linearity of Scalar, a content management system developed by digital humanists, and through experimental network visualizations that expose the racial logic and the socio-cultural context of The North American Indian.

  • DIGITAL ART, CHICANA FEMINISM, and MEXICAN ICONOGRAPHY: a Visual Narrative by Alma Lopez in Naples, Italy
    DIGITAL ART, CHICANA FEMINISM, AND MEXICAN ICONOGRAPHY: A Visual Narrative by Alma Lopez in Naples, Italy María Herrera-Sobek, Guisela M. Latorre, and Alma Lopez While in the 1970s Chicana/o art was largely defined by the prevalence of silkscreen posters and murals, the 1990s and early 2000s saw the emergence of digital art among Chicana/o artists. Los Angeles-based artist Alma Lopez has been at the forefront of this revolution. Her visually compelling, computer-aided montages have tackled deeply contested issues such as immigration, racism, religion, colonization, and queer identity, to cite just a few. In spite of being a talented painter and printmaker, with a BA and an MFA in art studio from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and University of California, Irvine (UCI), respectively, Lopez has gained most of her visibility from her digital media work. Scholars such as Luz Calvo and Reina Alejandra Prado Saldívar have identified Lopez’s art as a Chicana feminist visual discourse that thrives on the flexibility and dynamism of digital expression.1 This technology allows the artist seamlessly to combine preexisting imagery with her own original artwork and photography. Lopez belongs to a generation of Chicana/o artists—including such luminaries as Judy Baca, Patricia Rodriguez, and John Leaños, among others—who have begun using computer technology as their preferred medium for creative expression. By doing so, they are entering territory such as the realm of science and technology that has traditionally excluded their presence as artists of color. These artists are also employing strategies that echo those deployed by other disenfranchised groups in the Americas, 68 CHICANA/LATINA STUDIES 6:2 SPRinG 2007 6.2.indb 68 4/23/07 8:21:56 AM DIGital art such as the Zapatistas in Chiapas, who initially transmitted their political communiqués over the Internet.

    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.
