Bienvenidas, bienvenidos, bienvenides! Welcome to season 8 of Latinx Visions. Our theme for this semester is Latinx Cultural Politics and we will be bringing you three episodes in which we will be in conversation with academics, visual artists, and authors to discuss the many ways in which they engage in cultural politics.
Cultural politics examines how power, identity, and social struggles are negotiated through cultural expressions, including art, media, language, and everyday practices. It explores how representation shapes social realities, how dominant ideologies maintain hegemony, and how marginalized communities resist through alternative narratives and artistic forms. Cultural politics intersects with race, class, gender, and sexuality. It reveals how cultural production both upholds and challenges systems of oppression. It also considers the role of aesthetic and political practices in shaping social movements and how globalization and transnationalism influence cultural exchanges and diasporic identities.
In this episode, interview Arlene Davila and Yasmin Ramirez, editors of the recently published book, Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art. This interview was recorded via Zoom on Friday, February 28th, 2025. After the interview, we share our reflections on the conversation with Arlene and Yasmin.
