Yolanda López: A Studio of One’s Own will reflect on one of the most important Chicano/a/x artist and activist who worked in California over the past five decades, with a special focus on the art produced during her time as an MFA (1979) in the Department of Visual Arts. Yolanda López was born in San Diego in 1942 and passed in 2021. The title for the panel echoes the playful take on her first solo museum exhibition Portrait of the Artist at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Downtown. The exhibition presents a compendium of López’s work from the 1970s and 1980s, when she created a vivid body of paintings, drawings, and collages that investigate and reimagine representations of women within Chicano/a/x culture and society, and where UCSD looms large in the work. Panelists: David Avalos, Cal State University San Marcos Alana Hernandez, Celebración Artística de las Américas Alessandra Moctezuma, San Diego Mesa College Susan Mogul, UC San Diego Alumx Moderator: Ricardo Dominguez, Department of Visual Arts This event is co-sponsored by Chicanx and Latinx Studies, Visual Arts, Latin American Studies, and the Institute of the Americas.
