This project aims to research the still understudied field of US Latinx art, particularly mid-career and new artists, and to expand system-wide UC collaboration with museums displaying this work. In collaboration with The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture in Riverside, the project will include a Summer Institute and Student Curatorial Fellowship.
For questions on the scope and administration of ongoing Strategic Research Projects, or for inquiries regarding proposals, please contact Aaron Melaas, Alianza MX Associate Director for Research & Innovation.
