Grounded their work with the Wetty Collective and their practice of rasquache zine-making, this workshop invites participants to consider: What have we been taught is too messy, excessive, dirty, queer, or disposable? What happens when we refuse to throw it away?

The more I've visited the more I love & learn from Latino cities. CDMX, Guadalajara, Merida, Cartagena, Buenos Aries, even Los Angeles. My list is short but want more.

In our next Animations Studies 2.0 blog post, Luke Hernandez reframes the Invader Zim series “as a key artifact in the history of Latinx aesthetics that historicizes Rasquache and extends its influence on both Media and Latinx studies scholars.” Find their essay at bit.ly/46lYOzk.

My workshop, “Rasquache for Games: A Scrappy Approach to Making-Do with Found Objects” was so much fun! Thank you to all who came out to play, make, and learn!
Shout out to my dad whose creations peppered my presentation.

A beautiful haircut-themed essay from @lesbrains.bsky.social

The Edgar is all the rage among the foos
To the unsympathetic eye, the hairstyle is peculiar, so childlike and unflattering as to be offensive. But as rasquache provocation, it’s also a work of anti-assimilationist art

"But in the Teatro’s first 15 years, they developed other genres, all reflecting the rasquache aesthetic: the mito (an effort to recover Chicanos’ lost indigenous heritage), the corrido (a folk ballad about fighting injustice), and the carpa (literally 'tent,' intended for working-class audiences)."

"The theatrical form that dominated the Teatro’s presentations from 1965-70 was the 'acto,' a short, usually comical sketch, often created through improvisation, designed to be performed anywhere…"
Aesthetically the earliest Teatro Campesino actos were simple but not simplistic, inventive by necessity. Because the group had to be prepared to perform anywhere, usually outdoors, design elements came together by chance. Signs around the necks of the actors marked the characters clearly and masks further delineated the villain (pig face mask) from the heroes (no masks). Costumes were found and exaggerated; props were put together in somebody’s kitchen. This has been termed a rasquache aesthetic, referring to the working-class Mexicans’ term for something brash, unsophisticated, held together by spit and grit, as one negotiates the harsh realities of the working poor either in Mexico or “en el norte”—i.e., the U.S.

This is 💯 pure Rasquaché art

Rasquache means ‘leftover’ or ‘of no value.’

In Chicano vernacular, it describes an attitude, the taste or lifestyle of the underdog

Rasquaché art is Chicano aesthetics that mingle Mexican & Anglo-American experiences into everyday life

When people ask me what Rasquaché art is, this is going to be my most relevant example of the year

At Oak Lawn United Methodist Church’s nativity, Mary and Joseph are silhouettes, surrounded by a chain link fence topped with razor wire. Their halos are old bicycle wheels. A shopping cart and two metal bins, frequently used by the unhoused as firepits, flank the scene.
Dallas church’s nativity evokes immigration detention centers, homelessness
“If telling the Christmas story honestly feels political, that says more about our moment than it does about the gospel,” Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison, senior pastor at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, said.
