Today we look back at our 2011 exhibition After the Gold Rush: Reflections and Postscripts on the National Chicano Moratorium of August 29, 1970 guest curated by Vincent Ramos. The exhibition commemorated the events that took place fifty years ago on this day while simultaneously bringing together nearly 30 exhibiting artists and activists together in intergenerational dialogue. From curatorial text by Vincent Ramos: On August 29th 1970, an estimated 30,000 Chicanas and Ch...icanos from across the United States gathered in East Los Angeles in a show of cultural and political unity, to stage a march and rally in opposition to the Vietnam War. What began as a peaceful protest meant to call attention to the disproportionate number of Chicano soldiers then dying on the battlefields of Southeast Asia, ultimately ended amidst a similar type of ‘war zone’ environment when local law enforcement agencies unjustly converged on the demonstrators. Their unprovoked actions incited numerous acts of violence in the form of arrests, injuries, and [four] deaths, including that of Los Angeles Times journalist Ruben Salazar. Known as the Chicano Moratorium, it is a seminal event not only in the history of the Chicano civil rights movement, but within the larger history of American social protest as well. VPAM honors this critical event in our city’s history while also reflecting on our current moment. Just like 50 years ago, demonstrators exercising their right to protest are being met with extreme violence, provocation, and arrest by law enforcement. The fierce legacy of those who participated in the National Chicano Moratorium lives on in the important work of artists and organizers today who are working against a new yet interrelated set of injustices including police brutality, mass incarceration, and immigrant detention, among others. We continue to be inspired by the spirit of this important work. #ChicanoMoratorium #AntiwarMovement #LAUpheaval #LosAngelesHistory #RubenSalazar #DevraWeber #VincentRamos / #VPAM #MyCommunityMyMuseum #LatinxArtsAll
