Resistance, Community, and Solidarity in the Work of Contemporary Mexican Women Artists
Description
I Want to Dance with You brings attention to artists working outside the art market, who are doing the important job of engaging communities and creating diverse forms of resistance. By foregrounding a new generation of feminist artists, Alberto McKelligan Hernández calls attention to feminismos descoloniales, environmental care, and feminicide while centering non-museum visitors and public spaces in Oaxaca, Monterrey, Ciudad Juárez, and Los Angeles.--Adriana Miramontes Olivas, Curator of Academic Programs and Latin American and Caribbean Art, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, University of OregonA highly timely, original take on contemporary Mexican artwork.--Mya Dosch, Associate Professor of Art of the Americas, California State University, SacramentoI Want to Dance with You is a deeply researched study of contemporary Mexican women artists that expands and reshapes the frameworks through which socially engaged and participatory practices are understood within art history. Through careful, human-centered analysis that foregrounds lived experiences and artistic practices often rendered invisible, McKelligan Hernández offers a timely and generative model for writing art's histories otherwise.--Erin L. McCutcheon, Assistant Professor of Art History, University of Rhode Island
