202 Frick Fine Arts
Janina Lopez
With the implementation of a new initiative, ¡Aquí Estamos!: Latinx Art at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the International Center for the Arts of the Americas (ICAA) began the development of Latinx Papers Project, a substantial expansion to their landmark Documents of Latin American and Latinx Art, a digital archive of more than 9000 documents. In this colloquium, PhD candidate Janina Lopez discusses her time as a research fellow with the Latinx Papers Project, introduces the ICAA’s digital archive and its potentials for use in the classroom, and connects documents in the project to her dissertation on the Royal Chicano Air Force.
