WMST 205 - Queer Latina Visualities

An introduction to queer Latina art as a field of interdisciplinary feminist inquiry, with a focus on art by Chicana, Xicana, Indigenous, Central American, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban artists. This course examines the synergetic relation between queer Latina feminist art, theory, and resistance. Students will learn how queer Latina visualities are shaped by historical, social, and political forces - like colonialism, racism, and capitalism - and how queer Latina artists, in turn, act upon and shape the social world. Students will investigate queer Chicana/Latina feminist texts, asking how notions of self, place, memory, relationality, and knowledge are represented, contested, and reconstructed by queer Latina feminist artists.
