In the article “Chicana Art and Scholarship on the interstices of our discipline” Latorre explores the concept of intersectionality as it pertains to Latina women as members of the art world. Latorre argues Latina artist use art as an outlet for social commentary on both their experience as women and Latino. Latorre suggests some Latina artists feel obligated to use their talents as artists to call attention to the injustices that affect marginalized groups of people. This concept of using art for social commentary reminds me of the art exhibition “ Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960-1980” I went to at MoMA Ps1 in New York City. Similarly, art works displayed in this exhibit all made social commentary on the social injustice issues facing Black people in Los Angeles from 1960-1980. I feel partitas offer invaluable contributions to the advancements of their race and gender when they utilize their art for social commentary., especially when they are minority female artists. Their art captures the raw emotions of historic events that textbooks leave out and are unable to convey. For this reason I cherish art created by artists from marginalized groups because it allows me to step back in time and feel what they must have been feeling during the time of their struggle when the art was created.
