Tamalada
title Tamaladadescription Color lithograph on paper, 25.5” x 32.75” Chicana artist Carmen Lomas Garza was raised in Kingsville, Texas, which is located near the Mexico – United States border and the Gulf of Mexico. She created a series of works that recall her life growing up with her family in the small border town in South Texas. In a tamalada, families gather to make large batches of tamales during the Christmas season. The entire family, adults and children alike, organize an assembly line to produce tamales, which are filled with different carnes (meats) such as pork, beef, or chicken; sometimes beans or even fruit. Note the framed reproduction of the Last Supper on the wall. Garza uses these scenes of family life to educate mainstream America about the Mexican American traditions that are passed on from one generation to the next. This popular lithograph was acquired by the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C.artist/creator Garza, Carmen Lomassubject Families Borderlands Frontera Food Food in art Culture Heritage Tamales Traditions Manners and customs Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Cargador de Cultura
title Cargador de Culturadescription Intaglio on paper, 11.25 in. x 14 in. Horned Toad Prints, El Paso, TX. Crocodiles on top of a masked man in El Paso. Francisco Delgado was born on November 3, 1974, in Ciudad Juárez, and grew up in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Art. His Bordeño artworks are informed by the social and cultural struggles inherent to life on the Mexican and United States border. His artwork addresses issues of identity, race, cultural traditions, and government policies that affect migration and immigrants. In his own words, Delgado says, “I am a visual artist with an artistic focus on social issues.” He visually represents the history of his community and creates a dialogue for social change. Often using dark humor or satire to depict his narratives, his artwork highlights the struggles of underrepresented people along the border. A prolific artist, Delgado works in painting, drawing, printmaking, and has also produced community murals. His works have been published in books and exhibited in national and international art exhibitions and community institutions. Francisco currently resides, teaches, and creates artwork in El Paso.artist/creator Delgado, Franciscosubject Borderlands Frontera Survival Traditions Manners and customs Texas--El Paso Crocodiles Alligators Wrestlers in art Tejanos Intaglio Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
