Beskrivning
Visualizing Latinx elevates the stories of contemporary Latinx creators working in fashion, independent filmmaking, and public art who confront the systemic erasure of Latinx creativity. Arlene Dávila documents how these creatives strive to visualize their communities as a means of transforming society and asserting inclusion on their own terms. She highlights how these artists approach their work with purpose, intention, style, and ingenuity to showcase the value, joy, and complexity of Latinx identities. Looking to the academic sector as a sanctioning and uplifting force, Dávila also explores academia’s role in making Latinx histories and creative communities visible. By focusing on the inventive, transformative, and decolonial practices of Latinx artists and creatives, she argues that seeing and appreciating Latinx culture through visual media can be revolutionary in creating a more equitable and vibrant society for all.

Recensioner i media

“A much-needed study on the influence of Latinx artists in fashion, film and public art, Arlene Dávila’s book gives visibility to artists making crucial contributions to the broader visual culture and language of the US. Focused on how visual culture can impact social change, this volume is equally important for scholars of the field and for arts lovers.”—Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, co-editor of A Handbook of Latinx Art“Arlene Dávila’s unprecedented knowledge of Latinx art histories results in another remarkable book of advocacy and passion. Leaping into totally new geographic and artistic media, she answers her critics with groundbreaking analysis of filmmakers, fashion designers, public monuments, and South Texas visual artists. Visualizing Latinx clarifies how and why creatives are doing it on their own terms, required reading when inclusion is further constricted.”—Karen Mary Davalos, author of Chicana/o Remix: Art and Errata since the Sixties
