Theresa Delgadillo, professor of English and Chicanx/e and Latinx/e Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will examine the work of three contemporary photographers—Tony Gleaton, Wendy Philips, and Louis Carlos Bernal—whose photographic work advances new lines of inquiry in exploring the overlap between diaspora and borderlands and opens the possibility for recognizing new visions of radical relationality. Gleaton is well-known for his rich portraits of Black Mexican life on the Costa Chica, while Philips, interested in Black and Indigenous interrelations in Mexico, queries ancestral echoes in her compositions. Working to rethink the “inner” versus the “outer,” Chicanx artist Bernal explores little-known Black Latinx life in the U.S.
