During the Chicano Movement (1965–1980), individuals of Mexican descent fought for civil rights and cultural reclamation. In solidarity with the Movement, LMU alumni Armando Durón ‘76 and Mary Salinas Durón ‘75 began collecting Chicano/a/x art as a means to preserve cultural identities and historical narratives. This exhibition, drawn from The Durón Family Collection, offers a distinct journey through Chicanx art from the mid-1900s to the present.

Our Bodies Are Memories of Our Bodies: Siapo ma Solo

siapo—indigenous Samoan barkcloth abstraction—and solo—poetry in the Samoan genre and worldview, here composed in English—by Fa’afafine, non-binary Samoan artist Dan Taulapapa McMullin. Printed on cloth with ink painting, these works embody the fa’asamoa understanding that the body itself is an archive, carrying ancestral and personal memory through the mana of social and environmental relationships.
