As part of the Arizona State University Hispanic Research Center’s ongoing project to document the work and careers of Chicana/o artists, the Yo soy/I am DVD series features interviews with those who have made significant contributions to their communities and Chicano art. The two DVDs comprising Yo soy/I am: Chicano/Latino Artists in Historical Context, The San Antonio Gallista Community focus on artists affiliated with Gallista Gallery, a community art space that has helped to revitalize a once-downtrodden neighborhood in San Antonio’s South Side. Yo soy/I am: Chicano/Latino Artists in Historical Context 2 features interviews with Gallista owner Joe L. López, Deborah Vasquez, and Xavier Garza, and Yo soy/I am: Chicano/Latino Artists in Historical Context 3 includes José Esquivel, Luis Guerrero, Celina Hinojosa, and Roberto Sifuentes. The seven artists, in separate interviews and locations, describe their influences, inspirations, and philosophies on art and life.
