The Great Tortilla Conspiracy by Ella Diaz

"Validating tortilla art is a historical enterprise, connected to the long road of obstacles that Chicano/a art faces in its place, or lack thereof, on the map of American art history. The standards of western aestheticism judge tortilla art too vernacular, too kitsch, and too much a fleeting novelty. Keeping with this theme of ‘validation,’ I plan to address other terms of importance as they pertain to tortilla art’s form and content." Ella Diaz
