Join curator David Choberka for a look at La Raza Art and Media Collective, 1975-Today. This exhibition revisits the 50th anniversary of the RAM Collective—formed by a pioneering group of Latina/o students to voice the cultural and political expression of Chicano, Hispanic, and Latin American communities—by presenting the four original issues of its multimedia journal produced between 1976 and 1977. The journals are exhibited for the first time. They are framed by original art commissions from three generations of Latinx alumni artists —George Vargas, Nicole Marroquin, and Michelle Hinojosa.

Free and open to the public. Registration required.
