CHICANO ART MOVEMENT visits: “Rasquachismo” 2024
On Saturday 05/11/24, we visited Huntington Beach Art Center to view “Rasquachismo” in the city of Huntington Beach, California.
(“Beyond Timeless” by Justin Favela, 2022)
We learned from the mission statement that: “‘Rasquachismo,’ [is] a multi-media exhibition celebrating the aesthetics and transformative power of Lowriders. Featuring work by William Camargo with Alkaid Ramirez, Justin Favela, Stephanie Mercado, Arturo Meza Il, Aaron Moctezuma, Jose Manuel Flores Nava, Alicia Villegas-Rolon, and Cora J. Quiroz.”
(“Anaheim in Flux” by William Camargo with Alkaid Ramirez, 2024)
“Emerging from the barrios of Southern California, lowriding brought forth a long resistance against the American Dream and dominant idealist norms that attempted to anglicize the young Chicanx individual. Forces of the Anglo-American culture did all it could to disrupt and omit the lowrider. From individual traffic stops to passing county-wide laws, all were attempts to take the lowrider off the streets. Low and slow, their metallic bodies transfigured in response. Now, unapologetically visible, lowriders glisten in candy-colored paint and dance with the aid of hydraulics. The power of lowriding extends beyond the car's aesthetics, however. It has become a rasquachismo expression of Mexican-American, and, eventually, Chicanx identity.”
(“Highland Park” by Stephanie Mercado, 2023)
A favorite of Robert’s at the “Rasquachismo” exhibit was Stephanie Mercado’s “Highland Park.” Through a little research, we learned that “‘Highland Park’ honors the cultural richness of the area including its history, diversity, and its valuable contributions to the broader arts and culture sector of Los Angeles. Utilizing imagery and icons sourced from the neighborhood, this piece celebrates the enduring local landmarks and showcases the architectural diversity that defines the area. Simultaneously, it pays homage to the artists and art spaces that have played a vital role in making Highland Park a vibrant and lively neighborhood for generations.”
(Detailed view of “We Can Dream” by Cora J. Quiroz, 2022)
From the museum ephemera, we learned that this painting entitled “We Can Dream” by Cora J. Quiroz is part of a series called “Not Your Typical Rosie.”
The artist states: “I paint women in a way that removes them from being acquiescent muses in typical artworks. From action, body language, and clothing, to expression, I ensure the women I paint have active roles of inspiration, movement, and storytelling. Raised by my mother, I learned about my family’s history through oral tradition. Rather than beng inspred by male-dominated stories in media, I became inspired by the Indigenous and Mexican women of my family, taking spaces where they were not expected.
The simplest acts typical for a man to perform, can often be taboo for women, such as working in the car industry. Despite this, for many years there have been women who have gone against the grain to become whoever they pleased to be, going beyond the WWII icon associated with strong women. These are the stories that inspire my work.”
(“El Cuento de los Panes: A Community Installation Inspired by Dr. Tomás Ybarra-Frausto” organized by the Exhibition Design students at Laguna College of Art and Design, 2024)
The exhibition statement shares that the term rasquachismo was “coined by Chicano scholar and art critic Tomás Ybarra-Frausto to describe ‘an underdog perspective, a view from los de abajo’ (from below) in working class Chicanx communities which uses elements of ‘hybridization, juxtaposition, and integration’ as a means of empowerment and resistance.”
The Huntington Beach Art Center presents “Rasquachismo” curated by Laura Black until June 1st, 2024 with their last programming event of an artist discussion is set for Saturday May 25th, 2024 from 1pm to 2:30pm.

Luego de un inicio con bombos y platillos en Chicago, cuna de Take A Bite!, les artistas suben a sus correspondientes autobuses para marchar hacia su próximo destino: la ciudad de Nueva York. En un viaje ameno y sin contratiempos, nuestres musiques arriban a la jungla de concreto directo al espacio en el que el festival tendrá lugar. Las bandas headliners ya se encuentran en la locación y se muestran muy cordiales con todes. Los preparativos comienzan y todo el staff corre de un lado a otro, procurando que ningún detalle esté fuera de lugar. El clima acompaña; las temperaturas pasan apenas los veinte grados y el cielo está completamente despejado. Desperdigadas por el recinto, las carpas para cada banda están ya instaladas. Lejos del ajetreo de los food trucks y puestos de merchandising, están las instalaciones artísticas como rueda de la fortuna e iglús donde puedes esperar a modo preferencial por el set de tus artistas favorites. Por supuesto, nadie está completamente amarrado a las inmediaciones de Take A Bite!; ya seas artista o staff, te invitamos a recorrer la ciudad en tu tiempo libre. ¿Quieres conocer Central Park o irte de compras por la 5th Avenue? ¿Darte una vuelta por los bares de Greenwich Village? Las opciones son infinitas y, si el tiempo te acompaña, puedes sacarle el mayor provecho a esta parada del festival. Al igual que en Chicago, los siguientes tres días en Nueva York prometen llenar de anécdotas a los artistas, un fin de semana más que ajetreado para el staff y una experiencia única para los asistentes.
Bajo el read more encontrarán más detalles.
LOCACIONES PRINCIPALES
Las ubicaciones mencionadas no son las únicas ni el movimiento se restringe a estas, sino que son puntos de referencia para quienes quieran usarlas en sus starters y threads.
Dentro del festival
The Biters Stage: el escenario principal y más grande de Take A Bite!, aquí es donde los headliners de cada parada se lucen y deleitan al público con una performance icónica al final de cada jornada.
The Underdog Stage: el segundo escenario más importante del festival.
The Rookie Stage: como menciona el nombre, es el escenario reservado para los nuevos rostros más prometedores de Take A Bite!
The Sweet Revenge Lounge: área de descanso VIP, exclusiva para artistas, sus managers y quienes puedan pagarlo. El sector cuenta con un bar, servicio de botella y un dj para amenizar la espera entre un set y otro. También cuenta con sus propios food trucks de fine dining y puntos de hidratación — quienes tienen el privilegio de descansar en el Sweet Revenge Lounge ni siquiera necesitan abandonar el sector durante el festival, salvo para ir a sus sets de interés, claro. Cada artista tiene derecho a un invitade, sin cargo.
Take A Bite! Staff Lounge: área de descanso exclusiva para el staff del festival, aunque los artistas también pueden acceder a este libremente. Cuenta con su propio servicio de catering para recargar las energías y un bar abierto de cerveza y bebidas no-alcohólicas. Sus sillones y la sombra ofrecen confort entre las largas horas de trabajo.
Beer Barn: bar de cerveza artesanal ubicado en el corazón del festival, a pasos del Biters Stage.
AbsoluteLAND: auspiciado por la conocida marca de vodka, este bar / lounge ofrece diversos cocktails y aperitivos.
Por la ciudad
Central Park: el icónico parque neoyorquino que se extiende por casi todo Manhattan ofrece varios puntos de interés, como sus lagunas, el zoológico y los varios museos en las avenidas aledañas.
Metropolitan Museum of Art: museo conocido por ser sede de la Met Gala cada año. Es uno de los museos más importantes del mundo y está ubicado en el distrito de Manhattan.
Chelsea: zona de la jungla de concreto que supo ser un barrio industrial, en la actualidad tiene sus calles repletas de galerías de arte, restaurantes y tiendas de autor. Un ícono de esta parte de la ciudad es el High Line Park, construido sobre las vías abandonadas del tren.
SoHo y Tribeca: se trata de dos vecindarios muy bohemios conocidos por sus tiendas de moda, galerías, restaurantes y vínculos con el mundo artístico y del cine.
Chinatown: el barrio chino de Nueva York, un paraíso de las compras para turistas debido a su diversidad y precios económicos.
Times Square: la plaza conocida como el corazón de la ciudad colinda con Broadway, avenida que es el epicentro del teatro y los musicales.
Greenwich Village: la capital de la vida bohemia de Nueva York y la cuna de la contracultura de los años sesenta, es un refugio para artistas y por sobre todo, para la comunidad LGBTQ.

Flora Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1488/90 – Venecia 1576) ca. 1517 Pintura al óleo sobre lienzo 79,7x63,5 cm Inventario 1890 n. 1462
La joven emerge del fondo marrón del cuadro sosteniendo con su mano derecha un ramo de flores primaverales, compuesto por rosas, violetas y jazmines; está vestida a la antigua usanza, con una blusa blanca que se desliza sobre el hombro derecho dejando al descubierto sus senos, mientras reclina suavemente la cabeza sobre el hombro izquierdo, volviendo la mirada fuera del espacio pintado. Su rostro, de rasgos muy delicados, se corresponde perfectamente con los cánones de belleza del Renacimiento del siglo XVI: piel pálida y luminosa, mejillas rosadas, y el rostro enmarcado por una larga melena suelta de color rubio cobrizo, color típico del pelo de las mujeres retratadas por Tiziano (de ahí el término “Tiziano rojo”). La identificación del sujeto como "Flora", la ninfa esposa de Céfiro de origen griego cuyas hazañas narra Ovidio, se remonta a Joachim von Sandrart, historiógrafo holandés, que hacia 1635 vio la obra en la colección de don Alfonso López. , embajador de España en Amsterdam. Vendido por este último al archiduque Leopoldo Guillermo de Habsburgo, el lienzo llegó a Florencia en 1793 como parte del intercambio de obras de arte entre la Galería Imperial Belvedere de Viena y los grandes duques de Toscana. La celebridad de esta imagen queda demostrada por los numerosos grabados realizados a partir del siglo XVI. El cuadro se enmarca en la línea de investigación sobre la imagen de la belleza femenina abierta a principios de siglo por "Laura" de Giorgione fechada en 1506 en el Kunsthistorisches Museum de Viena. Como las demás representaciones de mujeres de especial atractivo y sensualidad que constituyen el subgénero de la pintura nacida en la laguna y denominada "Belle", la imagen no alude unívocamente a Flora, la animadora de las fiestas licenciosas de la antigüedad romana, sino a Belleza femenina capaz de combinar pudor y voluptas.

Introducing the Team ✨
Art is not always a woman with long sleek hair dressed in white in the middle of golden fields. With sweet smile, skin soft and fair. Hearts are captured by the beauty of aesthetics, adhered into standards to get close to what perfect is. Because what is beauty without a soul?
Art is not always a classical orchestra, where each pull of strings reaches Genoa, and each note is music in utopia. Niccolo is mesmerized by mystique melody, adhered into standards to make perfect symphony. Because what is music without a soul?
Art is not always a fancy literature, where every letter forms a definite structure. A book created by the book, and a masterpiece of all conventions. It does not necessarily have to adhere into standards to be free from flaws and imperfections. Because what is writing, without a soul?
Art is not always a delicate painting. Or a workmanship of a painter who follows a routine. The one who memorizes every brush stroke by heart, applies every theory on every part. The one who adhered into standards of beauty in the museum. Because what is painting without a soul?
Art is not always a graceful dance. A flex of flexibility and muscle movement. Or a buffed body as fulfillment. With perfect choreography for the moment. Adhered into standards to be worthy of achievement. Because what is dancing without a soul?
Art is not always perfect. The moon is pretty because of its craters. Music is diverse like the feelings behind. Crafts are unique like the lines on our palms. But every one of them is beautiful. Even poems that does not rhyme.
We are 1st year BS Accountancy students from Laguna University. In this blog, we will give emphasis and value to the learnings that we've mastered through our Art Appreciation course. We believe that everyone should make art. It is a practice that is not limited to the experts and professionals in the field. In fact, the ingredients of making it are patience, dedication, creativity and heart. All those which everyone can possess. We’ll utilize this platform to encourage everyone, to make art, and appreciate its worth to all aspects of our lives.
We will post articles, poems and artworks that will inspire you to create art! So don't forget to keep in touch! Let's unleash the artists in our hearts. 💗

A Look Back on my 2022:
If I were to describe 2022 in one word, it would be Calm. This is the year where I learned how to calm down and not be pressured by anything else. Calm down on pursuing the goals, achieving growth and progress. Calm down on my own journey and not compare it with others. I became self-aware and self-reliant on my own happiness this year. I still have my bad days but I accept them now calmly because they're supposed to be there. To be more alive, I guess? Overall, I wouldn't say 2022 is great or awesome or worse. But I just think that is what a year is supposed to be, Calm.
As a look back on 2022, here are my year-end reflection lists:
Habits I shall (or any obligatory word) quit by next year:
Not replying back to friends
Not waking up on time (6:30am will be my new alarm set as a punishment) and oversleeping
Binging too much TV
Saying NO to friends/family
Impulsive buying
Being hot-headed when it comes to certain situations (IDK how to explain this but some people keep testing my patience)
Not asking for HELP
Not asking questions
Doomscrolling. Consuming too much social media.
I will continue, Oh my God, to do all these actions, for the love of me:
READ. Just read more books, articles, essays, etc. Educate yourself.
Spend quality time with family (treat them once in a while)
Same with friends (meet old friends)
Walk. Jog. Exercise. Beat that Move goal challenges.
Dentist appointments twice a year
WRITE! Write your thoughts, your feelings, your frustrations, what you love, etc. Just write to unload those emotions and heal on your own.
Watch documentaries.
Cook and prepare your food.
Embroidery! Finish once your start a piece.
Make art. Draw, sketch, paint, watercolor, make a video, and write a poem. Explore your artistry.
Clean your room once a month.
Be there for people but have boundaries.
Travel and visit new places.
Be curious.
Things I'm grateful for:
Family - I get to spend more time with them this year. Even though we're a family who doesn't talk about personal stuff, I think just being in their presence means so much to me.
Friends - 2022 is the year of meeting with a lot of my close friends. and meeting new ones. My relationship with them is low maintenance where we don't need to chat constantly but hanging out with them once in a while just puts me in a happy state.
Sidelines - I'm so thankful for the clients who trusted me this year. Not to mention, they're the reason I was able to save money. I hope this will continue and grow in the coming year. I'm ready for more side projects.
Travel - This year is my most traveled year so far. I went to Tagaytay, Boracay, Baguio, Bulacan, Laguna, and Pampanga. I went Hiking in Rizal (with complete strangers). And finally visited the National Museum of Natural History with friends. I'm excited about the places I will visit come 2023, I wish I can finally travel abroad which is not work-related, Thailand or Taiwan is my top priority to visit with my budget.
Experiences - Of course, 2022 is memorable for the experiences it brought me. I went to a concert of All Time Low which is one of my favorite bands growing up. It was a very surreal experience. I finally watched a musical last November, it's called We Will Rock You, and a homage to Queen songs, which are some of the best songs for me. More musical experiences for next year, please! Lastly, when I went to Leni-Kiko Rally. It was my proudest moment as a Filipino to be there. I was just merely attending their rally, but it made me hopeful for the country. Makes me think of what could've been if she won the presidency. I know PH is going downhill now, but I hope for a better 2023 for us.
Love/Dating - This has been so idle this year. But still grateful for the learnings it gave me. I only dated one person and it didn't go well because *insert anti-hero by Taylor Swift*. I realized dating requires too much effort and I feel like I want to accomplish more before being in a commitment with another person. But I still want it. I crave it. It's just that I'm not willing to work for it. So that's what I will be doing in 2023. Work for the love I deserve.
That ends my 2022. It wasn't as grand as the others but for me, It's the best year. I really liked it. No, I loved it. Thank you, 2022. Now, I'm looking forward to new experiences, explorations, and self-discoveries. I already know 2023 will be just as calm as this year. Happy new year, everyone! Let's fucking gooooo!

Macha Suzuki: Rainbow Apocalypse September 5, 2018 - March 10, 2019 Chaffey College Center for the Arts
For Macha Suzuki, the rainbow signifies peace and hope in his artwork because the end will bring forth a new beginning. Suzuki first came up with the title Rainbow Apocalypse in 2012 for an exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum when he noticed the dates for the exhibition spanned the proclaimed “end-of-the-world” date of the Mayan calendar. The thought that the end date of the exhibition was after the end of the world amused Suzuki, so it became the working title of the exhibition and subsequent projects.
Macha Suzuki was born in Tokyo Japan in 1979 and he immigrated to Los Angeles in 1988. He has an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in sculpture and a BA in studio art with emphases in painting and photography from Azusa Pacific University. Suzuki has exhibited his work regularly for the past ten years in museums and galleries, nationally and internationally.
