To call oneself Chicano--a formerly derogatory term--became a political and cultural statement, and Chicano graphic artists asserted this identity through their printmaking and activism. \u003ci\u003e Printing the Revolution! \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the remarkable legacy of Chicano graphic arts relative to major social movements, the way these artists and their cross-cultural collaborators advanced printmaking methods, and the medium's unique role in shaping critical debates about U.S. identity and history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom satire and portraiture to politicized pop, this volume examines how artists created visually captivating graphics that catalyzed audiences. Posters and prints announced labor strikes and cultural events, highlighted the plight of political prisoners, schooled viewers in Third World liberation movements, and, most significantly, challenged the invisibility of Mexican Americans in U.S. society. While screen printing was the dominant mode of printmaking during the civil rights era, this book considers how artists have embraced a wide range of techniques and strategies, from installation art to shareable digital graphics. This book shows how artists have used and continue to use graphic arts as a means to engage the public, address social justice concerns, and wrestle with shifting notions of the term Chicano. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLavishly illustrated and featuring three double gatefolds, \u003ci\u003e Printing the Revolution!\u003c\/i\u003e presents a vibrant look at the past, present, and future of an essential aspect of Chicano art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003cbr\u003eSmithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003eMay 14-August 8, 2021 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eE.
