Regeneraci贸n: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology

29 Sep, 2018 - 16 Feb, 2019
Regeneraci贸n: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology examines the transnational exchange and circulation of revolutionary and activist ideas through which political protest intersected with experimental artistic practices across generations, and between the U.S. and Mexico. The exhibition centers on three instances of political and cultural production, each called Regeneraci贸n, and the interconnected ideas and relationships between them. The term regeneraci贸n was first used by the Los Angeles-based, Mexican anarchist Flores Mag贸n brothers in their revolutionary-era political newspaper Regeneraci贸n (1900鈥18); subsequently adopted in the cultural and political journal Regeneraci贸n (1970鈥75), which was an important collaborative site for the Chicano avant-garde group Asco; and later evoked in the experimental space Regeneraci贸n/Popular Resource Center of Highland Park (1993鈥99).


These groups and sites of production were incubators for transnational political thought and forms of resistance that linked Mexico and the United States from the site of Los Angeles, stimulating the creation of journals, print media, plays, music, film, satirical cartoons, drawings, performances, and poetry, and contributing to the convergence of art, community, and politics across the span of one hundred years. Tracing political and artistic modes of cultural production rooted in counter-hegemonic practices within Latino communities in Los Angeles in the twentieth century, Regeneraci贸n: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology aims to shed light on nuanced aspects of Southern California鈥檚 regional history.
