Self Help Graphics at Fifty - A Cornerstone of Latinx Art and Collaborative Artmaking (Paperback)

The definitive history of a cherished East Los Angeles institution over five decades of art making and community building. Self Help Graphics at Fifty celebrates the ongoing legacy of an institution that has had profound aesthetic, economic, and political impact on the formation of Chicanx and Latinx art in the United States. Officially launched in 1973 during the Chicano Movement, Self Help Graphics & Art continues to serve on the cultural front. The institution's commitment to art, dignity for all, and empowerment of Chicanx and Latinx artists appears in every aspect of programming, including the Dia de los Muertos festival; the Barrio Mobile Art Studio, which brings art education to underserved schools; and the printmaking program, which offers an accessible medium infused with activist aims. Looking at the multiple genealogies of art that intersect in East Los Angeles, Self Help Graphics at Fifty bears witness to the organization's influential role in US and global art histories.
