Huntington Debuts Major Chicano Art Exhibition Celebrating Six Decades of Printmaking as Activism

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, will host the West Coast debut of “Radical Histories: Chicano Prints from the Smithsonian American Art Museum” on November 16. The exhibition features 60 works by some 40 artists and collectives from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, spanning over six decades of Chicano printmaking as a form of resistance, community building, and cultural reclamation. It traces key moments from the late 1960s Delano Grape Strike to the present, using silkscreens, posters, and offset prints. The Huntington has also commissioned a mural by Los Angeles–based artist Melissa Govea in partnership with Self Help Graphics & Art.
