THE LATINIZATION OF ART & CULTURE IN AMERICA
Understanding Its Impact and Why it Matters
October 20, 2005
THE CONVERSATION: In a white dominated art market & critical establishment, why are there no or so few Chicano, Central and South American artists in major museum collections? Do the museums reject identity-based art? And, does the new Latino majority want identity-specific exhibitions?

Speakers: Miki Garcia, co-curator of the S-Files at Museo del Barrio in NYC and Executive Director, Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum; Bill Kelley, director of LatinArt.com, independent writer, curator and critic; Alma Ruiz, Associate Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA); Mario Ybarra, artist and founder of Slanguage Gallery
