Chicanx/Latinx Excellence at Sac State and Beyond

Exhibits

The Chicanx/Latinx Faculty and Staff Association (CHLFSA) is currently spotlighting Chicanx/Latinx Excellence at Sac State and Beyond in the three display cases on the second floor of the Sac State Library. In one display, “Femicides: Shattering the Silence of Violence Against Women,” Dr. Bonilla, Dr. Romero, and Dr. Vargas showcase their research about violence against women. In another display, Dr. Flores, Dr. Huante-Tzintzun, and Dr. Tena-Encarnacion showcase works completed by students at Sac state. In the third display, curated by Dr. Sarabia and Dr. Ramirez, loteria cards highlight Chicanx/Latinx leaders and organizations at Sac State and beyond who engage in work on support and improve our communities, as well as books published by Chicanx/Latinx faculty at Sac State.

Femicides: Shattering the Silence of Violence Against Women

Curated by Dr. Diego Bonilla (Communications), Dr. Brenda Romero (World Languages and Literatures), and Dr. Maria Vargas (Ethnic Studies).

Femicides: Shattering the 
Violence of Violence Against Women

This exhibit brings awareness to the urgent topic of violence against women in Latin America through different lenses. In addition to providing recent statistics and drawing attention to specific cases from Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, we highlight contemporary books that introduce readers to the lived experiences of women affected by violence. These texts, fiction and nonfiction, illuminate the intersecting forms of oppression that exacerbate gender violence and act as a catalyst for advocacy. The central piece of this exhibit is Requiem Diurnus, a digital art project that uses artificial intelligence to acknowledge and mourn the victims of femicides worldwide. The exhibit features a dynamic projection of randomly selected images showcasing hyper-realistic "found object sculptures" created from news articles about femicide events.
