Lasting Effects of the Chicanx Movement (through an artistic lens)
Synopsis:
This page will focus on art that was created during the Chicano movement from 1965- 1975. This movement was the largest civil rights movement by people of Mexican descent, which in turn left a lasting impact. Being that this movement was so large, its effects lasted far longer than the movement itself. A lot of this art was created between 1965- 1975, but there are also some pieces that were created after that as a result of this movement. This page will focus more so on how art from this time period has affected generations long after. Although the Chicano movement happened almost sixty years ago, younger audiences are still learning about it today.
