Week 2 Falcon,Joan

The CARA essay by Professor Garcia Gaspar de Alba was very interesting and made this week exciting.CARA stands for Chicano Art Resistance and Affirmations. It was more of an exhibit which represented what many young Chicanos were going through and depicted the struggle of the Chicano movement. This exhibit had full exposure but lacked women, the women were only painted mainly as Virgenes as a way to state typical Chicano stereotypes, to me the virgen represents motherhood, when we were asked to think of female artists almost no one had a female artist in mind and this explains why, females have been unfairly treated and not included.
