Episode 5: Latinidad or Trojan Horse?

08/16/21 • 45 min

Today, I am sitting down with New York based artist and educator, Carlos Jesús Martínez Domínguez (FEEGZ) who spoke with me about Latinidad in art collections and museums. Referencing The Cheech Marin Collection --currently under construction in Riverside, California-- how can this push for Latinidad in museums and art collections further colonial mindsets by adhering to words like Latinidad, Latino/a, Latinx?
