<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 174186, member: 44&quot;]The only artist Jamie Alvarado I could find online was a Jamie Alvarado, &quot;director of MACLA&#039;s Center for Latino Arts in San Jose.&quot; There is only a mention of him on the following webpage:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The beauty of Anzaldúa&#039;s reinterpretation of the pre-Columbian concept of <i>nepantla</i> is its broad applicability, not only on the personal level, but to the new <i>mestizaje</i>, or hybrid state, that is today&#039;s American multicultural society. Jaime Alvarado, director of MACLA&#039;s Center for Latino Arts in San Jose, and Lori Wood, director of Villa Montalvo&#039;s Artist Residency Program, recognized this quality when they set out to discover whether their two very different arts organizations could collaborate on a truly equal basis.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;It&#039;s a hot topic right now,&quot; Alvarado says. &quot;Artistic collaboration between traditional, mainstream, big-budget institutions and alternative organizations based within communities of color ... typically serves the program needs of the larger organization and is disconnected from the day-to-day life of the alternatives&#039; constituencies. ... Lori and I decided we had to try and see if two radically different communities can work together in a respectful fashion.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>4th &amp; 5th paragraph down:</p><p><a href="http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/11.02.95/art-9544.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/11.02.95/art-9544.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/11.02.95/art-9544.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I could find no art work by him. If he is the artist, this might be considered Latino art rather than Native American???</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
