1. The celebrations of Dia de los Muertos connect
people to their cultural pasts and bring people together that may not ordinarily
be united in everyday life. This practice seems to parallel Chicana feminism
movements as art forms and protest unite women and people that come from a
common culture or heritage. How are art and culture so deeply intertwined and
what is the greater significance of using visual representation of culture
compared to literature or a written history?
2.
Dia de los Muertos is regarded as a group
celebration that “makes people stronger” according to Concha Saucedo in the
movie La Ofrenda. How does this cultural celebration make people stronger?
3.
Perez notes that Chicana women come from a long
history of cultural and religious mixing and that the sum of all these lived
experiences and cultures are what form tradition (9). How do we see this hybridization
in Chicana feminist works/art?
