The Latino cARTographies digital board is the first portable, bilingual, and interactive Latino artboard in the country. It was conceived and designed by Pamela Anne Quiroz, Director of the Center for Mexican American and Latino Studies (CMALS) and CLASS Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Houston, and with the curatorial leadership of Juana Guzman, former Vice President of the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, the CMALS Research Team, and the International Gibson Group. Latino cARTographies is designed to engage and educate the public about Latino artists and Latino cultural contributions. It is the first visual digital archive of Houston’s Latino art, and it tells the artists stories along with the stories of the Latino community.
