Project:MASA II & III Video Documentation
The Project:MASA Description Project:MASA (Mechicano Alliance of Space Artists) is an exhibit of Latino artists who use cosmic iconography to comment on Meztizo issues, culture, and/or Chicano consciousness. Melding together the old with the new, the exhibit is both a serious and satirical look at contemporary events dealing with immigration, identity, and social justice, as they relate to “chicano space” at a national and cosmic level. Project:MASA is on the forefront of Chicano activism and art, as it brings together both established and emerging artists from the East Coast, South Texas, the Southwest, and the West Coast. It not only provides a platform for San Antonio-based artists, but also acts as a bridge for creative and intellectual exchange for artists and their communities. Project:MASA III was curated by Arturo Infante Almeida — curator to the University of Texas San Antonio Permanent Collection
