Mosses Ros Saurez Dominican artists started their art as graffiti artists and did artworks in subways in the beginning. Identity was important for Saurez since he had an undocumented family and was marginalized as a child he felt invisible. He used art as a creative outlet works on large scales to work with kids using styles and lettering. He Did works since the early 70s working as an artist in black and brown solidarity. It was a way to be productive. In the 90s worked with the Bronx printmakers and went to the lower east side print shop. This artist fascinated me because of the reading of “ Graffit is art’. This artist expressed and himself in his artwork with his culture, food, and doing social justice works.
It was interesting to know the perspective of these artists in the art world in relation to Chicano and Afro Latindad. The artist I was interested in was Favianna Rodriguez since I been a fan and supporter of her artwork, I have written about her Piece about Migration is beautiful since it is one of my favorite of her artworks. I continue to appreciate how she provides free artwork online to download. I also really enjoy her artwork strived to combat racism and her feminist prints. As Rodriguez says “Culture and art are very powerful, the stories that we tell ourselves shape political reality.” she wanted to make art of the world. Her migration piece that yes as humans we do move, that is what occurs in nature naturally. The colonial idea keeps these beliefs that we should do otherwise she mentions that people move to love others. Her art is to show the history and people that aren’t represented in the media. It was also interesting to hear artists speak about their artwork since we’ve already read about their art. Malaquis Montoya yo soy Chicano gripping artwork was interesting since we have seen his artworks all through the printing revolution text. It was interesting to hear the inspirations of these artists.
