Artists frequently use their mediums to tell stories, send messages, or imagine futures unlike our present. For Latino Futurist artists, drawing on the past is key to creating futures that connect heritage, experience, and indigeneity to the present and future in constantly circling time. In a society that imagines the past as ancient history, these artists are challenging what art is and who art is for. In this episode of AeroEspacial, we explore this genre of art with artists and art commentators.
Thanks to our guests on this episode:
- Dr Catherine Sue Ramirez, professor and chair of Latin American and Latino Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz
- Beatriz Cortez, multimedia artist
- Clarissa Tossin, multimedia artist and incoming National Air and Space Museum fellow

Los artistas con frecuencia utilizan sus medios para contar historias, enviar mensajes o imaginar futuros distintos de nuestro presente. Para los artistas futuristas latinos, recurrir al pasado es clave para crear futuros que conecten el legado, la experiencia y la indigenidad con el presente y el futuro en un constante círculo temporal. En una sociedad que imagina el pasado como historia antigua, estos artistas desafían lo que es el arte y para quién es el arte. En este episodio de AeroEspacial, exploramos este género artístico con artistas y comentaristas de arte.
