DESCRIPTION:ChicaChic, an art exhibit showcasing five leading Chicana visual artists, 
 continues at two venues at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) 
 through March 18th, 2011.\n\nOn March 12th exhibition artists Favianna 
 Rodriguez and Angelica Muro will be in conversation with artists Patricia 
 Rodriguez, Lorraine Garcia Nakata, and moderator Viva Paredes. They will be 
 discussing the community structures that supported their development as 
 artists, and the political and social climates in which those structures 
 were formed. Panelists will talk further about their work in relation to 
 evolving community concerns, and invite a dynamic conversation with the 
 audience.\n\nThe works in ChicaChic honor the concepts, themes, and 
 iconography of the Chicano civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s but 
 respond to the changing social context of a media-saturated world. Ana 
 Teresa Fernandez's "Acuario," depicts a woman "washing" the beach at the 
 U.S.-Mexican border with her hair; the striking image demands both that we 
 engage with the current debates over immigration, and the politics of women 
 and labor. Favianna Rodriguez's prints reflect contemporary ideas about 
 social movements and community alliance building.\n\nIn addition to 
 Fernandez and Rodriguez, ChicaChic features the work of Angelica Muro, 
 Mitsy Avila Ovalles, and Shizu Saldamando. The work of these five artists 
 varies greatly, but they all are responding in novel ways to the shifting 
 needs of their communities. \n\nAs part of ChicaChic, each of the five 
 artists is creating an original poster for a public art campaign, funded by 
 a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The posters remain on 
 view in many BART stations through San Francisco, Oakland and Colma.\n
