3/15/18 review of Museo de las Americas show Pachucos y Sirenas

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2018 Museo de las Americas show Pachucos y Sirenas.

The thread gives a summary of the show. It discusses the show's exploration of the Chicanx movement's use of the Pachuco and Pachuca style, including low rider cars and zoot suits, to forge their identity, how that identity was met with violent backlash, but how it also led to strength, confidence, and organizing for rights. It discusses and gives pictures of work by Kenneth Castillo, Jerry Vigil, Carlos Fresquez, Josiah Lopez, Daniel Salazar, Antonia Fernandez, and Justin Favela.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected. My apologies.
