Finding relevance in the exhibition "Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary #Artist and All That It Implies" that I checked out last month at the #Art Institute of Chicago. 1 - "Untitled (Composition for a Peace Poster)" (circa 1950), #linocut. Collaborative #print designed by Catlett and carved

in a linoleum block by Alberto Beltrán. This poster supported the Primer Congreso Nacional por la Paz (First National Peace Congress), a meeting to promote peace and prevent war held in Mexico City in May 1951. Catlett's activism on behalf of the peace movement thrust her into Cold War politics. The

TGP, along with many other activists on the Left, said that the United States—the sole nation with nuclear weapons at the time—would have disproportionate power to curtail global freedom movements. In response, the US government declared the TGP a Communist front organization and surveilled and

harassed its members, including Elizabeth Catlett. 2 - "Sharecropper" (1952, printed 1972), color #linocut on cream Japanese paper. #Art #Artist #Print By the 1960s,

Catlett was well into her second decade in Mexico, working and raising three sons with her second husband, Mexican artist Francisco Mora. Aware of her Communist affiliations, the United States government began surveilling Catlett. When she became a Mexican citizen in 1962, the US immediately deemed

her an "undesirable alien" and barred her from entering the country until nearly a decade later. As a political exile, Catlett brought a global perspective to her work. She immersed herself in international cultural networks that extended beyond the US and Mexico to associates in Latin America,

Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. With them she found strength and solidarity in shared struggles against poverty, racism, and imperialism. #Art 3 - "Central America Says No!" (1986), #linocut. Catlett repeatedly expressed outrage against imperialism and US interventions around the world. This

piece combines several printing blocks that Catlett used for earlier #prints. "Chile I" and "Chile Il" are powerful statements condemning the atrocities committed during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who assumed power following the 1973 overthrow of Salvador Allende's government

in a coup backed by the US. Catlett made "Alto a la agresión (Stop Aggression)" in 1954 to oppose US intervention in Guatemala. The impact of these histories is amplified through association and repetition, making "Central America Says No!" one of her most powerful anti-imperialist statements. #Art

The #Pluribus finale's opening scene in Peru where Kusimayu joins the hivemind and they all immediately stop singing and abandon her village... Getting Plurbed erases culture. This is why, as the child of immigrants, I prefer looking at our society as a patchwork quilt rather than a melting pot;

Just watched #Resurrection at the Gene Siskel Film Center on opening night and now I’m pissed it’s not on the Oscars shortlist for cinematography (and neither is Wake Up Dead Man)! The #film is broken up into different segments, and the last one, not including the frame story, is one long take; I

Ahhhh this episode! "Spit," omg. I completely forgot about that card game until now. I loved playing that as a kid. BEAR JORDAN. What a perfect name for a dog. 👟🏀 Lots of revelations about the hive, including: #Pluribus

Since it was warm (read: in the 30s 😄) yesterday, I went downtown to check out some exhibitions I wanted to see, walking from one to the other. (And what luck I had: Pretty much as soon as I stepped out of the Chicago Cultural Center, I unexpectedly saw the
