1. In "Rhetoric of the Object: Material Memory and the Artwork of Amalia Mesa-Bains," Jennifer Gonzalez states that many Chicana artists are crafting their art "to create an image that is revisionist as well as traditional" (Gonzalez 20). What tactics do you think artists can utilize in order to achieve this goal?
2. In "Smithsonian Latino Virtual Museum Ofelia Esparza and Rosanna Part 1," Ofelia Esparza states that when she created alters for art exhibits, she centered them around furniture because "it was like doing a home alter" (14:10). Why do you think it was important for her to feel as though the exhibits were home alters?
3. In "Altar/Alter," Perez discusses the way "Chicana photographers manipulate contemporary technologies" in order to produce their artwork (Perez 130). What benefits does producing art through the lens of photography have when compared to other artistic methods?
