In the 1960s, activist Chicano artists forged a history of printmaking that remains
vital today. Many artists came of age during the civil rights, labor, anti-war, feminist
and LGBTQ+ movements and channeled the period's social activism into statements that
announced a new political and cultural consciousness among people of Mexican descent
in the United States. ¡Printing the Revolution! explores the rise of Chicano graphics
within these early social movements and the ways in which Chicanx artists since then
have advanced printmaking practices attuned to social justice. More than reflecting
the need for social change, the works featured in the catalogue and exhibition project
and revise notions of Chicanx identity, spur political activism, and school viewers
in new understandings of U.S. and international history. By employing diverse visual
and artistic modes from satire, to portraiture, to appropriation, conceptualism, and
politicized pop, the artists in this exhibition build a graphic tradition that has
yet to be fully integrated into the history of U.S. printmaking. This exhibition is
the first to unite historic civil rights-era prints alongside works by contemporary
printmakers, including several that embrace expanded graphics that exist beyond the
paper substrate. While the dominant mode of printmaking among Chicanx artists remains
screenprinting, the installation features works in a wide range of techniques and
presentation strategies, from installation art to public interventions, augmented
reality, and shareable graphics that circulate in the digital realm. The exhibition
is also the first to consider how Chicanx mentors, print centers, and networks nurtured
other artists, including several who drew inspiration from the example of Chicanx
printmaking. Featured artists and collectives include Rupert García, Malaquias Montoya,
Ester Hernández, the Royal Chicano Air Force, David Avalos, Elizabeth Sisco, Louis
Hock, Sandra Fernández, Juan de Dios Mora, the Dominican York Proyecto Grafíca,
Enrique Chagoya, René Castro, Juan Fuentes, and Linda Lucero, among others. ¡Printing
the Revolution! features more than 100 works drawn from the Smithsonian American Art
Museum's collection of Latinx art. The Museum's Chicanx graphics holdings rose significantly
with a gift in 1995 from the renowned scholar Tomás Ybarra-Frausto. Since then, other
major donations and an ambitious acquisition program have built one of the largest
museum collections of Chicanx graphics on the East Coast
