Chicano Time Warp
Art for Our Sake
Indigeneity and Embodied Knowledge in the Art of Linda Vallejo
Bearing Witness
The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History

Here the author explores Caribbean artworks created as commentary with intended agency, as contributions to the development of a complex practice and understanding of decolonialization. I propose that it is significantly through knowledge of artmaking by practiti…

Why Latinx
In this editorial commentary, we consider the use of Latinx in Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture and argue for its relevance and importance, while at the same time recognizing the term’s limitations, variability, and potential for change. In our very first issue of LALVC, we upheld the use of x instead of o or a/o or @ in our title as a proclamation of inclusiveness. How has our thinking about the x evolved since then? This short reflectio…

Diversity in Academia in a Post-Truth World
I never imagined during my period of infatuation with postmodern theory that I would one day be an advocate for objective truth. But if we’ve learned anything since the 2016 US presidential election, it’s that facts and truth matter. While sensitive to the ways in which data can be manipulated, or “alternative facts” mobilized, to recollect Kellyanne Conway’s infamous phrase, hard data on diversity can be a powerful reality check.1 To that end, t…

Love and Marriage in the Spanish Empire: Depictions of Holy Matrimony and Gender Discourses in the Seventeenth Century
Seventeenth-century Spain and Mexico witnessed an explosion in artistic depictions of holy matrimony.

In conjunction with plays, songs, sermons, and other devotional texts, such marriage scenes shaped societal discourses and att…

Introduction to Part III: The Intersection of Contemporary Latin American Art and Religion
This introduction examines the usefulness of Habermas’s “post-secularity” for discussions of religion in contemporary Latin American art, as well as the Náhuatl concept of “nepantla,” or in-betweeness, and Néstor García Canclini’s “multi-temporal heterogeneity.” These terms are examined in relation to the work of artists Delilah Montoya and Francis Alÿs
