Latino Voices in American Art

Some artists, cultural theorists, and others who are equally curious have asked: "How does culture change as it moves from place to place?" While there is some disagreement on the subject, some say that cultures continue to express universal experiences, regardless of where they may end up. The Smithsonian American Art Museum has taken on this subject with this online exhibit, which uses photographs, videos, and other resources to examine how various Latino artists speak through their different artworks. In the site's four primary sections, visitors can listen to artists such as Maria Brito and Pepon Osorio talk about their work, and then move on to examine their artwork in detail in the online gallery. The site is also designed with educators in mind, as there is also a section that provides detailed lesson plans on such topics as using art to express the process of assimilation. While these materials are not available in Spanish, much of the site's materials are available in both English and Spanish.
