Exhibition Label: "Conflicting Memories," Oct-2003, Steve Goddard Chagoya’s long print takes the form of a Mayan scroll (which reads from right to left). It includes a staggering array of images - Mayan gods, Our Lady of Guadalupe, border guards, and superheroes from the United States - that contribute to an understanding of the complex heritage of contemporary Latino culture. In effect, Chagoya has offered us a road map to Mexican-American cultural memory.
