Entre Tinta y Lucha celebrates the 45th anniversary of the East L.A. cultural and community art organization, Self Help Graphics & Art (SHG). Featuring a display of over fifty fine art prints from throughout the organization’s history, the exhibition looks back at more than four decades of the organization’s artistic innovation and excellence, organizational resilience and expanded activity. Inspired by the Chicano Movement of the late 1960s and the rise of printmaking as a legitimate art form during the same period, SHG was founded by Franciscan nun, Sister Karen Boccalero, and local Chicano artists Carlos Bueno, Antonio Ibañez, and Frank Hernandez. Since its incorporation in 1973, SHG has produced over 1,000 art print editions, including 54 Atelier projects and exhibitions all over the world. The organization remains dedicated to the production, interpretation and distribution of prints and other art media by Chicana/o and Latinx artists; and its multidisciplinary, intergenerational programs promote artistic excellence and empower community by providing access to working space, tools, training and beyond.

Regeneración: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology examines the transnational exchange and circulation of revolutionary and activist ideas through which political protest intersected with experimental artistic practices across generations, and between the U.S. and Mexico. On view at the Vincent Price Art Museum, the exhibition centers on three instances of political and cultural production, each called Regeneración, and the interconnected ideas and relationships between them. Tracing political and artistic modes of cultural production rooted in counter-hegemonic practices within Latino communities in Los Angeles in the 20th century, Regeneración: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology aims to shed light on nuanced aspects of Southern California’s regional history.

Library branches throughout L.A. are hosting Latino Heritage Month events. Taking place at at the landmark Central Library on Sunday, Sept. 30, the Graffiti Artist Panel will discuss how contemporary L.A. graffiti artists have gone from creating temporary works of street art to permanent and important “marks" on society. Through books, installation of permanent murals, and original canvas works collected by private individuals and important institutions alike, graffiti has become an art form that exists beyond the short-lived nature of street tags. The panel will be curated by Man One and Scott "Sourdough" Power (Crewest Studio founders and hosts of the Not Real Art podcast) and will feature graffiti artists Chaz Bojorquez, Petal, AiseBorn, and Zoueh.

Following the panel discussion, there will be a book signing of Man One’s first picture book, Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix, which is currently receiving national awards and accolades for its colorful and original illustration work. RSVP for this free event at Eventbrite.

The Craft & Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) presents Daydreaming by Uzumaki Cepeda, the first museum installation by the Bronx native. Now based in Los Angeles, Cepeda is a photographer and fiber sculptor whose immersive works feature domestic spaces covered in brightly colored faux fur.

Daydreaming is a site-specific, interactive installation that portrays Cepeda’s daydream of a safe and happy childhood mixed with the loud palette of New York bodegas, living rooms in the Dominican Republic, and freshly painted acrylic nails.
