17. Self-connections found Alan Pogue Untitled (La Peña program in back patio of Las Manitas), n.d. Black and white photograph, 16" x 19 3/4" Courtesy of Alan Pogue NOSTALGIA While looking through the collection I kept seeing various pieces that reminded me of childhood such as this picture taken by Pogue. As a Tejana my family has used any excuse to gather together and celebrate but birthdays especially are commemorated events that share the same familial joy across decades.

18. Worldly relations Alan Pogue Economy Furniture Strike - Rally at the Capitol, Austin, Texas, c. 1970 Black and white photograph, 8" x 10" Courtesy of Alan Pogue Chicano Movement Chicana Feminism Sylvia Orozco Untitled (MAS exhibition photo), 1976 Black and white photograph, 11" x 14" (framed) Courtesy of Sylvia Orozco “The Chicano movement made strides in fair labor practices like those in Austin with the Economy Furniture Strike, police reform after the killing of Jose “Joe” Campos that took place in Dallas, fighting for equal neighborhood treatment with the protests surrounding the East Austin Boat race controversy, protests against the Ku Klux Klan, and against unjust labor practices like with the Texas Farm Workers Union’s March for Human Rights.” “An unfortunate aspect of the Chicano movement is the underrepresentation of women both within the Chicano civil rights movement and the early Chicano art movement. Although important figures, like Dolores Huerta held valuable roles in organizations like the United Farm Workers union, on large-scale women were excluded from participation and leadership positions in the movement. This exclusion left many talented women with an important creative perspective without a support system to work on political change or further their artistic vision.”
