  • THE VISUAL ARTS of LINDA VALLEJO: Indigenous Spirituality, Indigenist Sensibility, and Emplacement
    THE VISUAL ARTS OF LINDA VALLEJO: Indigenous Spirituality, Indigenist Sensibility, and Emplacement Karen Mary Davalos Analyzing nearly forty years of art by Linda Vallejo, this article argues that her indigenist sensibility and indigenous spirituality create the aesthetics of disruption and continuity. In turn this entwined aesthetics generates emplacement, a praxis that resists or remedies the injuries of colonialism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression that displace and disavow indigenous, Mexican, and Chicana/o populations in the Americas. Her visual art fits squarely within the trajectory of Chicana feminist decolonial practice, particularly in its empowerment of indigenous communities, Mexicans, and Chicana/os in the hemisphere. Key Words: Emplacement, hemispheric studies, aesthetic practice, spiritual mestizaje, decolonial imaginary, indigenous epistemology. Born in Los Angeles and raised by three generations of Mexican- heritage women, Linda Vallejo creates an oeuvre that is easy to understand as feminist and indigenist. Ancestral women, including three great-grandmothers, grandmothers, her mother, and several great aunts, were the artist’s first sources of feminist and indigenous knowledge. Vallejo describes one great- grandmother as “una indígena” because she was short, had dark skin, and wore trenzas and huaraches; she was also very strong, even fierce, having worked in the fields as she migrated north (Vallejo 2013).1 The appellation indicates the way in which Vallejo understands knowledge and subjectivity as emerging from material conditions, social forces, and affect, rather than biology. Vallejo is also a world traveler. Because of her father’s military service, she visited “all the major museums of Europe, many of them as a very young girl” (Vallejo 2013).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Summer Research by an authorized administrator of Sound Ideas. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Reclaiming Aztlán: The Visual Rhetoric of Pre-Columbian Imagery in Chicano Murals As the Chicano movement took shape in the 1960s, Chicano artists quickly began to articulate the attitudes and goals of the movement in the form of murals that decorated businesses, freeway underpasses, and low-income housing developments. It did not take long for a distinct aesthetic to emerge. Many of the same visual symbols repeatedly appear in these murals, especially those produced during the first two decades of the movement. These included images of historical Mexican or Chicano figures such as Cesar Chavez, Pancho Villa, and Dolores Huerta, cultural icons like the Virgin of Guadalupe, and emblems of political consciousness like the flag of the United Farm Workers. But one of the most important visual themes that emerged was the use of pre-Columbian imagery, which could include images of Aztec or Mayan warriors, gods like Coatlicue or Quetzacoatl, the Aztec calendar stone, depictions of ancient Mesoamerican pyramid architecture, or the Olmec head sculptures found at San Lorenzo and La Venta.

  • Archival Body/Archival Space: Queer Remains of the Chicano Art Movement, Los Angeles, 1969-2009
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ARCHIVAL BODY/ARCHIVAL SPACE: QUEER REMAINS OF THE CHICANO ART MOVEMENT, LOS ANGELES, 1969-2009. Robert Lyle Hernandez, III, Ph.D., 2011 Directed By: Associate Professor Mary Corbin Sies, American Studies This dissertation proposes an interdisciplinary queer archive methodology I term ―archival body/archival space,‖ which recovers, interprets, and assesses the alternative archives and preservation practices of homosexual men in the Chicano Art Movement, the cultural arm of the Mexican American civil rights struggle in the U.S. Without access to systemic modes of preservation, these men generated other archival practices to resist their erasure, omission, and obscurity. The study conducts a series of archive excavations mining ―archival bodies‖ of homosexual artists from buried and unseen ―archival spaces,‖ such as: domestic interiors, home furnishings, barrio neighborhoods, and museum installations. This allows us to reconstruct the artist archive and, thus, challenge how we see, know, and comprehend ―Chicano art‖ as an aesthetic and cultural category. As such, I evidence the critical role of sexual difference within this visual vocabulary and illuminate networks of homosexual Chicano artists taking place in gay bars, alternative art spaces, salons, and barrios throughout East Los Angeles. My queer archive study model consists of five interpretative strategies: sexual agency of Chicano art, queer archival afterlife, containers of desire, archival chiaroscuro, and archive elicitation. I posit that by speaking through these artifact formations, the ―archival body‖ performs the allegorical bones and flesh of the artist, an artifactual surrogacy articulated through things. My methodological innovation has direct bearing on how sexual difference shapes the material record and the places from which these ―queer remains‖ are kept, sheltered, and displayed.

    Detail, Zapatista character, Los Angeles: Untitled, 2011. Photo by Christian Guzman Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/radical-history-review/article-pdf/2012/113/111/468062/RHR113_08Bloch_FPP.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 curated spaces The Illegal Face of Wall Space: Graffiti- Murals on the Sunset Boulevard Retaining Walls Stefano Bloch Los Angeles: Untitled is a series of murals running along a quarter- mile stretch of retaining walls on Sunset Boulevard in the Echo Park and Silver Lake neighbor- hoods of Los Angeles. Painted by graffiti writers Cache and Eye One, the murals depict cartoonish chickens riding bicycles and small, masked Zapatista characters raising their fists in playful defiance. Various incarnations of the central mural have depicted smaller chickens playing ball and reading books, Zapatistas gleefully stopping the wheels of industrial production, the LA skyline, the Hollywood Sign, and cat characters painted by recent collaborator Atlas from the CBS (City Bomb Squad) graffiti crew. Visually arresting, they are also, in the words of Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) Murals Manager Pat Gomez, “technically vandalism.” 1 However, since no one has complained about the murals to Gomez’s office or to the Department of Building and Safety that oversees the public walls on which they are painted, no action has been taken to paint over the murals or criminalize the artists who painted them. Given their large size and placement on a busy stretch of Sunset Boulevard, these unsanctioned “graffiti- murals” appear to be legally produced.2 And because they are a welcomed alternative to the “tagging” that had previously covered the walls, they have been tacitly tolerated, if not outright welcomed, by law enforce - Radical History Review Issue 113 (Spring 2012) doi 10.1215/01636545-1504930 © 2012 by MARHO: The Radical Historians’ Organization, Inc.
