You are invited to the Digital Humanities Center at Barnard College for a discussion of the Digital Humanities Project, Five Decades of Chicane Muralism in Los Angeles, 1972-2019.This project brings together six works of public art made in Los Angeles by an intergenerational group of Chicane artists. The online exhibit follows the evolution and expansion of muralism as a community-driven mode of artistic production that has been integral to the formation of Chicane visual and cultural identity.

At this event, the project’s co-creators, Megan Kincaid (NYU) and Summer Sloane-Britt (NYU) will be in conversation with Elizabeth Hutchinson (Barnard DHC Faculty Director). Join us to learn more about the murals’ artists and their context, as well as the researchers’ process of developing a digital humanities project that aims to be a resource for discovering, learning about, and preserving the legacy of these murals.

This event will be hybrid. A zoom link will be mailed to all who register. Please RSVP by March 28 through this form.
