QUOTES THAT GUIDE US (let’s talk about them irl)

“On Language: The Spanish in this work emerged when the writing naturally evoked it. Not that much, but enough.” - Cherie Moraga

“We propose the temporal frame of “thick time”— a transcorporeal stretching between present, future, and past —in order to reimagine our bodies as archives of climate and as making future climates possible.” - Astrida Neimanis and Rachel Loewen Walker

“Objects and artifacts of everyday life, domestic spaces, home altars and yard shrines, and the fences and porches of the barrio were employed as the medium of a larger ‘social sculpture’ in which community participants were also active components of the final artwork, directed toward social change.” - Jennifer A. González,  C. Ondine Chavoya,  Chon Noriega,  Terezita Romo

“The affect of Latinos and Latinas is often off. One can even argue that it is off-white…it is not so much that Latina/o affect in performance is so excessive, but that the affective performance of normative whiteness is minimalist to the point of emotional impoverishment.” José Esteban Muñoz
