The cultural label of “Chicano” originated as a derogatory term for individuals of Mexican American heritage, but was reclaimed by members of the Pachuco movement in the 1940s and then adopted by members of Hispanic communities in their fight for civil rights. Today this term generally applies to individuals of Mexican American descent, however it is a term that has always encompassed nuances of meaning and that has remained unchanged. Caminos Distintos refers to the many paths that Chicano artists in New Mexico have taken in the expression of their “Chicanismo”. Celebrated in this exhibition are different artistic themes, such as cultural traditions, the relevance of food and family, the landscape and importance of place, Dia de Los Muertos, traditional religious mediums, and expressions that have evolved and fused with styles of contemporary Chicano artists. Chicano art and identity are explored through an exhibition of artwork carrying potent political statements, a mainstay in Chicano art past and present.
