This month weโre returning to Diana Solis โs important archival work of the #lgbtqia community from the โ70โs to โ90โs, as June 2021 marks the 40th remembrance of the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.
During this period, #Chicago was full of protests and marches that were held in order to bring awareness to the cityโs inadequate healthcare for HIV/Aids patients, especially patients of low income.
The photographs in this series document Solรญs and her friends, as well as scenes from Pride parades and Gay and Lesbian rallies from 1970s to the 1990s. As a young Mexicana/Chicana photographer during this period, Solรญsโ life and work were very interconnected with the social and political struggles of the LGBTQ+ and womenโs communities in Chicago.

#LatinXAmerican and Claudia Peรฑa Salinas: #Quetzalli
May 14 - August 15, 2021
LatinXAmerican is an intergenerational group exhibition featuring nearly 40 Latinx artists from Chicago and beyond. The exhibition assesses the presence and absence of Latinx artists in DPAMโs collection, and reflects efforts to build in this area as part of a multi-year initiative to increase the visibility of Latinx artists and voices.
Quetzalli is a site-specific installation that centers on the Aztec headdress, Penacho de Moctezuma, an object that has become a symbol of national identity for both Mexico and Austria. Quetzalli highlights the issues around the provenance of ancient artifacts and the role museums play in formulating cultural identities.

RECENT ACQUISITION ALERT! #latinxamerican artist Gala Porras-Kimโs works โNotes After G.M. Cowan 10โ (2012) and โWhistling and Language Transfigurationโ (2012) have been added to DPAMโs permanent collection!
โWhistling and Language Transfigurationโ is a vinyl recording which translates Zapotec spoken words into their accompanying whistles. โNotes After G.M. Cowan 10โ depicts one of these whistling postures. The Zapotec language today is an endangered language of Indigenous groups in Mexico, but it was once an exclusively oral languageโthe whistling versions of which were used in the colonial period as tools of resistance against Spanish authority.
DPAM is honored to bring these works into the collection in order to continue sharing these important stories for years after the exhibition!

Getting to Know the Artist! In conversation with Archives and Futures, #LatinXAmerican artist Diana Solis reflects on her large photographic archive of #queerhistory in Chicago and being an active member in the gay and lesbian movement in Mexico:
โI knew that I wanted this work to be used for educational purposes. The idea that the work should be educational has been on my mind for years even before I stored it. As a documenter and photographer, I often couldnโt separate myself from my work. When I moved to Mexico, there was a lot of work based on the gay community. I lived in a community of women and I was very active in the gay and lesbian movement in Mexico for years. Coming back to the states, I did a lot of work in the gay and lesbian community in Chicago when there were still raids at bars. We were getting raided left and right: This was in the โ80โs.โ
Hear more tonight at 6PM cst. Weโre thrilled to be hosting Solis, Nicole Marroquinn, and Deanna Ledezma as they discuss how issues of race, class, nationality, and sexuality shaped how Latinx artists visualize โthe family.โ registration on our page! See you all soon!

Join us for this bilingual discussion! Building upon the nonbinary, gender-inclusive term used in the exhibition title, Chicago-based artists and arts educators #NicoleMarroquin , #DianaSolis , and #DeannaLedezma will discuss how Latinx art expands notions of family and kinship. If the category of Latinx encompasses an array of identities and experiences, then how might Latinx art destabilize dominant ideas of family? How have issues of race, class, nationality, and sexuality shaped how Latinx artists visualize โthe familyโ? Register: http://ow.ly/6PAi50EsgxR

Peruvian artist Elena Damiani reworks objects and materials from geologic and cartographic archives, creating installations of landscapes that hover between past and present. In her work on view in The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, Damiani layers images of active volcanoes in Hawaii and Mount St. Helens in Washington printed on transparent silk chiffon. The images have a ghostly appearance, suggesting that our relation to the past is always spectral. Damianiโs work is part of the โRaw Materialโ section of the The World to Come which explores the depletion of Earthโs natural resources due to large-scale mining, fracking, and extraction. Learn more at: bit.ly/DPAMTheWorldToCome The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Retired Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.
Brazilian artist Sandra Cinto has developed a rich vocabulary of symbols and lines to create lyrical landscapes and narratives that hover between fantasy and reality. Using drawing as a point of departure, the artist renders intricate and mesmerizing environments of turbulent seascapes, violent rainstorms, and celestial skies. Evoking stories of human hardship and redemption, these fantastical landscapes serve as a metaphor for the human odyssey, while also pushing the limits and possibilities of drawing. Cintoโs work is part of the โDelugeโ section of The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene in which artists engage with the beauty and destructive power of water while calling attention to our roles in extreme weather, global warming, rising sea levels, and floods.

DePaul Art Museum presents The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene from March 19โAugust 16, 2020.
