La Onda Chicana

La Onda Chicana (“the Chicanx Wave”) is named after the multidisciplinary artistic movement that grew out of México (La Onda) and the Chicano movement (El Movimiento) in America inspired by Civil Rights activism of the 1960s. Featuring artwork by over 30 Chicanx and Latinx artists from the Civil Rights Movement to the present, La Onda Chicana demonstrates the power of art to communicate individual and collective identities and to create new realities.
