New exhibit at San Antonio's McNay Museum delves into power of found objects in Chicano life
In 1989, Latinx cultural scholar Tomás Ybarra-Frausto coined the term “rasquachismo” in an essay that explored a cultural concept informed by the daily experiences of ordinary Chicanos. While the term was a play on the word “rasquache,” slang for bad taste or low class, Ybarra-Frausto defined it as a “a form of resistance incorporating strategies of appropriation, reversal and inversion.”
