A stylish celebration of a half century of Chicanx artists working at the intersection of fashion and printmaking

In the 1970s, Chicanx artists began working in the plentiful and inexpensive medium of paper to blur the boundaries between printmaking and fashion design. Borrowing from Day of the Dead border craftworks as well as other cultural touchstones such as papel picados, piñatas, and decorations, these artists experimented with paper-based fashion designs and screen printing, imbuing their work with a politics of style and socially transformative intent. In print workshops and underground fashion shows, practices leaped from the two-dimensional mesh screen to the three-dimensional dress form through the revival of a dormant trend from the 1960s--paper fashion.
