COME TOGETHER: Interethnic Collaborations for Equity and Social Change in the 1970s is the only exhibition that existed in physical form. Because of this, it carries with it a clear narrative form. The limitation of this narrative is simply that it provides one sole path through the exhibit instead of allowing folks to further manage their own experience. This exhibit provides a paragraph of analysis with each successive page (well, rather for around every other page), and it constructs a strict, linear story explaining ways that Chican@ art/artist techniques were deployed in service of solidarity with other non-white communities. This narrative includes information about the artists whose work is represented in the exhibit, the archival collections where these materials originated, and the historical backgrounds of the movements that inspired these pieces of artwork.
