This lecture dives into the complex identities of Mexicans, exploring the terms Hispanic, Latino, Chicano, and Native with Grace Sesma. We will reflect on the profound impacts of colonization, including the loss of culture, tribal identity, land, and community. Through historical narratives and personal stories, we will examine how these identities have evolved, and the struggles faced in maintaining cultural heritage. We will highlight the resilience of the communities in reclaiming traditions, language, and land, and discuss the significance of self-identification and the ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate the culture.

Low VOC is an exhibition of prototypes created by artists and designers from the San Diego and Tijuana regions made primarily with engineered wood composite panels referred to as Naturally Bonded Boards (NB boards). NB boards are non-toxic, biodegradable, and recyclable, made from sawdust and post-industrial/ post-consumer and recycled fibers without added formaldehyde. These boards were developed during a collaborative effort between Research Mechanical Engineer John F. Hunt (now retired), of the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory and artist/designer Christine Lee. Between 2010 and 2014, a variety of NB boards was created through multiple rounds of board forming were made. Curator Christine Lee invited other artists/designers to experiment with not only how they could apply end-user applications to this material, but also to consider how the types of adhesives and finishes that would be applied could have a positive or negative impact.
