Jesus Barraza and Melanie Cervantes—the duo behind Dignidad Rebelde—will speak at 3 p.m. on February 7 in Rothenberg Hall about their graphic arts collaboration.
“Their graphic arts collaboration, Dignidad Rebelde, has supported grassroots organizing and produced many of the political graphics that continue to shape the visual identity of social movements in the San Francisco Bay Area and globally,” according to The Huntington’s description.
The talk coincides with “Radical Histories: Chicano Prints from the Smithsonian American Art Museum,” running through March 2 in the MaryLou and George Boone Gallery. “The exhibition’s 60 bold works by some 40 artists and collectives span more than six decades of Chicano printmaking as a form of resistance, community building, and cultural reclamation,” according to The Huntington.
The program will feature a lecture by Barraza and Cervantes followed by conversation with Angélica Becerra, Bradford and Christine Mishler Associate Curator of American Art at The Huntington.
The event is free with reservation. Attendees should check in at 2:30 p.m. with registration confirmation. No food or drinks allowed inside the theater.
