¡CHICANAO! Caminos Distintos panel discussion with three artists from the ¡CHICANAO! Caminos Exhibition. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear first-hand from Chicana/o art luminaries Juanita Jaramillo Lavadie, Francisco LeFebre, and Delilah Montoya as they honor Nuestros Antepasados—the ancestors and early visionaries of the Chicano art movement. This panel promises rich storytelling, cultural insight, and a deeper connection to the vibrant currents shaping New Mexico’s artistic legacy.

¡CHICANAO! Caminos Distintos presents the Chicano art movement as it has developed from the 1970s through to the current day, exploring and celebrating the changes brought about by visionary artists of each generation. All movements grow, evolve and change. Many artists in the beginning of el movimiento such as the Antepasados and the Maestros, who opened the doors for the new Chicano artists, are now referenced and reflected by the new generation. Through this collection of work we seek to honor the past, engage with the present, and envision the future through the eyes of Chicana and Chicano artists of New Mexico. Thus the title of this show combines Chicana and Chicano into CHICANAO, combining the sides of the community and projecting that unity into the present and future.
