La Raza Anthology: Unidos y Fuertes

larazaanthology:

La Raza Anthology: Unidos y Fuertes is a collection of works celebrating and analyzing our experiences with cultures from Latin America.

Tired of the very little Latinx representation in the art scene, we created La Raza Anthology as a way to give creators proper recognition & chance to address important issues that matter to us.

In Spanish, la raza literally translates as “the race”, a term stemmed from Mexican scholar José Vasconcelos’s phrase, La Raza Cósmica (“the cosmic race”). Because Latin America is a mixture of different races & cultures (Latinx= an ethnicity not a race), we use La Raza as a term define our community by celebrating our roots.  Which is what we hope to do with our anthology!
