      Chicano stands for Mexican American
      It's a people who have been in the South West when it was Mexican territory latinos from south America and Caribbean don't have to do with.
      The historical Mexican American
      symbolism in the U.S especially in the South West there is a historical boundary which Dose not include other latinos.

      We are Chicanos. Not Latinos. We are the offspring of Mexican and Indigenous people who were already in the lands of Mexchico, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas & Colorado. The term Latino is a romanticized term slapped on us by the US government and Census in order to make us more appealing to the masses. Latino is a term associated with South American and Caribbean people. Their cultures and struggles are different from ours. As a matter of fact many South American people pledge their love and loyalty to their European lineage(s).

    I introduced Chicano art to my art professor in college after seeing that many of the students were bored of listening to lectures about European artists. I forwarded her a link to the documentary, and she had the class watch it. Everyone was smiling because they felt some representation in the art that was shown, especially the murals and lowrider cars.

    I have been to museums all over the world for over 50 years. The Cheech is one of my favorite museums! Even though the super talented artists are Chicano, the art is incredibly diverse. I find that the pieces tell deeper stories. For many of the pieces, there's even QR codes that send you to a link with a short video of Cheech explaining the piece.I drove 2 hours just to see the museum. If you are in the area, it's worth the drive.

    De La Torre brothers are incredible. How they do large scale glass making art is beyond me. Because of Cheech Riverside is becoming a great community to live in and enjoy. There are so many improvements even with the college, which has expanded. Riverside has so many wonderful places to visit. Before Cheech's museum one great place to visit is Tio's Tacos. They have a patio of pure recycled art , it makes for a interesting place to visit and have drink or a meal. #tiostacos
