"The Many Worlds and Identities of Guadalupe" with Alberto López Pulido / "Los Muchos Mundos e Identidades de Guadalupe" con Alberto López Pulido Over the years, Mexicanos and Chicane/a/os have been preoccupied with questions of identity in relation to its fluid and multidimensional nature. Through the power of Chicana and Chicano Art, "The Many Worlds and Identities of Guadalupe" explores Guadalupe as an embodiment of these worlds in an attempt to better understand Chicana/o culture and identity in our contemporary world Alberto López Pulido is the founding chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of San Diego, where he has taught since 2003. A native of San Diego’s South Bay, his upbringing between borders shaped his fronterizo perspective. He began his education at Southwestern College before earning degrees in Sociology and Chicano Studies from UC San Diego. He later completed graduate studies at the University of Notre Dame under the mentorship of Dr. Julian Samora. Pulido’s research explores the intersection of Chicana/o/x communities, spirituality, and cultural expression. His award-winning work on Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Logan Heights is among his important works of scholarship. A trained sociologist, he has published widely on ethnic studies, Chicano/a studies in higher education, and material culture. Mingei International Museum on Facebook / Instagram

John Gutmann (1905–1998) and Max Yavno (1911–1985) were photographers who spent most of their careers in California’s two largest cities of the mid-twentieth century. Gutmann fled Nazi persecution in Germany and immigrated to San Francisco in 1933 while Yavno, a native New Yorker, moved to California in 1945, living in San Francisco and Los Angeles. These contemporaries photographed prominent aspects of modern American life, especially in their adopted home state of California. From a pervasive car culture to street life, signage, architecture, and sports and entertainment, they emphasized urban grit and energy while revealing distinct ways of seeing. Trained as an Expressionist painter in Germany, Gutmann approached these themes as a European in a new country, using the strong diagonals and daring, often low angles he learned from popular magazines in interwar Berlin to defamiliarize the everyday. Yavno’s more plainspoken and detached observations, by contrast, embody the prevailing direction of American photography of this era and his greater sociological impulse. Taken together, Gutmann and Yavno demonstrate how California was home to interconnecting, even conflicting strains in modern photography of the American scene.
