Visualizando la Conciencia Mestiza: The Relation of Gloria Anzaldúa’s Mestiza Consciousness to Mexican American Performance and Poster ArtSerrano, Maria Cristina 26 October 2010 (has links)
This thesis explores Gloria Anzaldúa’s notion of mestiza consciousness and its
relation to Mexican American performance and poster art. It examines how the traditional
conceptions of mestizo identity were redefined by Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera
in an attempt to eradicate oppression through a change of consciousness. Anzaldua’s
conceptions are then applied to Guillermo Gomez-Peña’s performance art discussing the
intricacies and complexities of his performances as examples of mestiza consciousness.
This thesis finally analyzes various Mexican American posters in relation to both
Anzaldúa and Gomez-Peña’s art works. It demonstrates that the similarities in the artist’s
treatment of hybridity illustrate a progressive change in worldview, thus exhibit mestiza
consciousness.

Borderlines of labor : Margarita Cabrera’s sculptures and the (un)American dreamDickerson, Sarah Anne 02 February 2015 (has links)
This thesis contextualizes the work of artist Margarita Cabrera within Chicano, postcolonial, and feminist theories, and specifically places her work within discourses surrounding the United States-Mexico border. I address the evolution of Cabrera’s sculptural work from her initial Desert Plants to the collaborative, community-based workshop Space in Between, which prompted her incorporation of Florezca, a for-profit social enterprise. I discuss how Cabrera’s collaborative art-making process and founding of a corporation are strategic methods to challenge and attempt to change oppressive political systems in the United States that disenfranchise undocumented Latino immigrants. / text
