Come chat with us at the next installment of the San Diego Automotive Museum Curator Talks Series, featuring Dr. Denise Sandoval, professor of Chicana/o Studies at CSU Northridge. Dr. Sandoval, a celebrated advocate for the lowriding community, with over 20 years of experience in researching and curating exhibits, will present "Lowrider Intersections" focusing on the rich, intertwined histories of the lowriding community, with her research and thesis work centered on the Black and Chicano lowriding experience. Her work has been instrumental in destigmatizing lowriding and highlighting its cultural significance. As artist Rubén Ortiz-Torres aptly wrote in 1998, “Style is a function of politics... Today lowrider cars combine and exacerbate old and modern Baroque sensibilities, transforming American cars into the sexualized moving altars of an American dream gone amok.” These rolling works of art encapsulate the intersectionality of Chicana/o culture, blending Mexican and American elements to form a complex tapestry of identity and history. Dr. Sandoval's talk will engage our guests and give a perspective on how lowriding has not only influenced car culture but also empowered communities to gain respect and autonomy over their passions.
