1. What is concept power
    Anonymous

    excellent question.. “Chicas-in-Power” goal is to create awareness and to empower women to be the creative agents that they are. To take charge of their presence in the media, in the arts, in writing etc. The power concept of “Chicas-in-Power” is that we must empower other women. By empowering we mean inspiring, increasing the creative mind within, and giving the power of creating social change within the creative field. I hope this answers your question.. Feel free to send more questions as we are pleased to answer them.

  9. favianna: “Migration Is Beautiful” was just released by Voice of Art this week! The short 3-part documentary follows me and many other pro-migrant artists as we go to Tucson and Charlotte to combat anti-migrant hate with art. It also shows shines light on some of the worst migration policies in the country and what the community is doing to fight them back. This documentary wouldn’t have been possible with the amazing artists and activists who are featured in the documentary. From the artwork of Melanie Cervantes, Jesus Barraza and Julio Salgado to Pulitzer-prize winner Jose Antonio Vargas and the UndocuBus bus riders, this documentary shows the power of cultural and community organizing. To know more about each one of the participants, just click on the image!

    Pacoima Street Art, Murals, Graffiti

    Today I finally took pics of some of Pacoimas murals. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while.  I’ve seen great works get painted over in LA and I never want to loose another opportunity to take pictures of great walls again.

About

CHICASinPOWER:

CHICAS-in-POWERblog

My focus for the art project is Women in art, specifically women that have taken art and used it as a medium to express an important social issue. However, because of their identity as a woman, or because of their ethnic background they have been misrepresented, and not taken seriously. I am also trying to focus on how women use art to create social awareness of conflicting issues in society, and how women use art as a way to express the importance of a social issue. Focusing mainly on women and the idea of women identity in art and how they make change. I value this concept of woman making change in society, and a woman’s importance in society by the difference she can create. By their way of thinking and making something that can express much more than her own feelings on a subject, but the feelings she can further create for the bigger audience of not only women but also men.
