The term “cholo” generally carries a negative connotation. It refers to a Mexican American gangster. But the fashion, the tattoos, the Old English graffiti writing style, the lowriders, and the music of “cholo culture” is popular beyond the negative stigma and stereotypes. In this episode Luis, Xris, and Jorge discuss what cholo culture means from a “Utahno” perspective.

Episode 20: From Neither Here Nor There ("Ni De Aqui Ni De Alla")

In this podcast we use art as a platform to examine stories about Mexico’s past and present. Each episode examines some famous works of art through the perspectives of a Mexican national, a Chicano, and a White American. Through these “new voices" we explore and rethink many of the stories we’ve been told about Mexico – and the United States – and its relevance to American contemporary life.

Our podcast is co-hosted and produced by Ross Chambless, with insight and commentary from Susan Vogel, Fanny Guadalupe Blauer, Luis Lopez, Jorge Rodriguez, Ciriac Alvarez, and others.

This podcast complements our community classes on Mexican Art and History taught through Artes de Mexico en Utah. Our goal is to reach younger and diverse English speaking audiences, and help young Latinos connect positively with Mexico and their heritage and culture.
