[Linganth] Visualizing Latinx

[Ilana Gershon]

Dear Colleagues,

Today on the CaMP anthropology blog <http://campanthropolog.org>, Arlene
Dávila discusses her book, *Visualizing Latinx: **Creative Practices in
Fashion, Film, and Beyond *with Karen Mary Davalos.


Best,

Ilana


Press blurb: *Visualizing Latinx* elevates the stories of contemporary
Latinx creators working in fashion, independent filmmaking, and public art
who confront the systemic erasure of Latinx creativity. Arlene Dávila
documents how these creatives strive to visualize their communities as a
means of transforming society and asserting inclusion on their own terms.
She highlights how these artists approach their work with purpose,
intention, style, and ingenuity to showcase the value, joy, and complexity
of Latinx identities. Looking to the academic sector as a sanctioning and
uplifting force, Dávila also explores academia’s role in making Latinx
histories and creative communities visible. By focusing on the inventive,
transformative, and decolonial practices of Latinx artists and creatives,
she argues that seeing and appreciating Latinx culture through visual media
can be revolutionary in creating a more equitable and vibrant society for
all.
