Fullerton College is proud to present Rasquachism

Fullerton College is proud to present Rasquachismo, a multi-media exhibition exploring the transmutative and defiant power of the lowrider. From painting, sculpture, photography, and installation, the show seeks to celebrate the lowrider’s demand for attention, reclamation of space and time, and resistance to social norms and oppressive influences. Adapted from Rasquachismo, curated by Laura Black, the exhibition celebrates how lowriding has developed past the beauty of the car itself, to a deeper representation of the Chicanx community.

Thank you @never__neutral @fcartgallery and Jasmine McNeal.

This card fell out today… “Meaning separates art from craft”. Intention is key. Sometimes the action is more important than the outcome. I will have to remember that when I feel like I am not doing enough. #artthoughts #artoracle
