Art Impact[edit]

Photography was another form of art that aided in the Chicano Movement's progress. It was a tool used during this movement to capture the reality of the times[1]. Patssi Valdez's photography illustrates the depth and variety of Chicano culture, demonstrating the correlation between Chicanos and the punk scene[2]. The origins of Chicano street art date back to the beginnings of the movement, having had a connection with how mural art has and continues to impact chicanismo[3]. Works by Tomás Ybarra-Frausto and Amalia Mesa-Bains impart one of the first analytical means by which we use to form an interpretation of Chicano art, rather than taking them at face value[4]. Chicanismo, and especially Chicano Art, is thought of as taking both parts of what makes one a Chicano: "The Conqueror and the Conquered". This idea is used to boost creativity among the community[5]. Art during the movement was not showcased in mainstream venues, and as a result, Chicanos created their own establishments[6]. Chicano Park is a symbol of significant importance to the Chicano community, representing culture, struggle, and spirit[7]. Chicano graphic artists raised awareness of the movement[8].

Movement[edit]

The Movement, originally referred to as the Mexican-American Civil Rights Movement, occurred as Mexicans became an oppressed group. Going through Americanization, segregation, and oppression, Mexican-Americans took it upon themselves to make a change in the system[9].


Literature[edit]

Chicano literary works allow a more in depth look to the minds of the movement, its origins and the community[10].
