CHICANO ART MOVEMENT attends: OC Fair 2024

(View at the Orange County Fair 2024 where it’s “always a good time” — this year’s theme.)

We made it to Costa Mesa, California for the last weekend of the OC Fair 2024 for extra long corn dogs, fresh lemonade, sweet & light funnel cake, and visual stimulation.

(South facing view of commemorative memorial honoring agriculture workers and their hard work.)

Entering through the blue gate, we came upon the “Table of Dignity” Memorial in commemoration of the agricultural workers by the Agricultural Association (32nd district) and the OC Fair & Event Center.

The only figurative artwork on the memorial as through its wall-thru archway which was created by artist Higgy Vasquez.

(Detailed view of inner walls of the walk through portal portion of the “Table of Dignity” monument.)

This pair of paintings “Dignity” & “Justicia” displayed the different phases of harvesting crops grown in Orange County such as grapes and strawberries.

One special elements of this memorial was the incorporation of live grape vines.

Next we moved on to the Hobbies & Handcrafts building in support of one of our street team member who had a pop culture display at the OC Fair.

Afterwards we proceeded to the Visual Arts & Woodworking Gallery. There we came upon two life size cutouts: a pachuco and a pachuca.

(View of “Me Despojo De Todo Lo Que Disminuya El Valor de Mi Ofrenda” by Jacqueline Valenzuela, 2024.)

Lured in and while walking around the art booth, we saw the artista Jacqueline Valenzuela painting live. We were fortunate enough to chat with her & learned about her art collaboration with the fair.

“Jacqueline Valenzuela is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is centered around depicting her personal experiences as well as the storytelling of other women who like her are in the Chicano world of lowriding. Her art practice reflects the deep roots she has planted in the lowrider community by bridging the gap between fine art and this underrepresented community.”

THISS!!! I love his personal style but then again I also dress this way

See chola/cholo chicano/chicana style was made by indigenous people, popularized by black and brown people in the 80s , there’s nothing Latin about it, it was made by indigenous people. (Yes native Mexicans are Native American)

Same with “Latina makeup” ain’t nothing Latin about it, indigenous women have been doing that makeup style for years. It’s a form of war paint.

Latin and Spaniards colonized Mexico, Mexico used to be a part of the americas.

Cuban, Mexican, Aztec, Chicano, Dominican are all Indigenous. There’s even indigenous Brazilians

Spain, Latin America aren’t Mexican. They just colonized Mexico and started breeding so Spanish became the language.

Mexicans are indigenous Native American actually.

Each native group is different but the same, the language is different and the names of food but it’s the same.

Tacos are Native American because the native groups of what’s now Mexico and Navajo created them on fry bread

Native languages sound like modern day Mexican Spanish.

When natives first came to America it was of East Asian south Asian and Siberian descent (it’s why we look Asian now) but we created our own cultures then Mexico “broke off” and Spanish invaded.

But Mexicans are still native. It’s why Mexicans and natives are like 🤞🏽

Food, languages, music, culture, makeup, clothing styles. One in the same. Even our features look the same.
