Abstract:
In this interview done by the media company Remezcla, we learn about Galindos' take on selfies and how they are an act of resistance by combating the idea of only eurocentric ideals being beautiful. Galindos' work exhibits body positivity and celebrates women who challenge beauty ideals, which is why she features Chicanas, Chingonas, and Cholas who typically are not represented in media nor art.

Abstract:
In this article published by the University of Texas Press, Project Muse, we see a few of Crystal Galindo's art pieces and learn more about her background. Galindo was born in Visalia, California, and made the decision to pursue the arts after watching her parents give up theirs to provide for her and her siblings. She began making art with pens and colored pencils but upon entering community college she learned to use charcoal, watercolor, and oil paints. Her artwork challenges white supremacy, eurocentric beauty standards, and the male-dominated art world by showcasing women of different sizes and races.
