Google has just released a massive digital collection of Latino art and history.
The Google Cultural Institute worked with the Smithsonian Latino Center, the UCLA Chicano Research Studies Center and dozens more to create this online archive. The collection features more than 2,500 pieces of art alone. This also covers other categories such as dance, food, film, music, sports, fashion, etc.
Here’s some interesting articles included as well:
Documenting Queer Latinx in LA
Diane Guerrero on the Day Her Family Was Deported
Hispanic experiences in 20th century America
Fast Food, Tortillas, and the Art of Accepting Yourself
Los Muros Hablan: The Walls Speak
Resisting Exclusion: Rupture & Rebellion in 20th Century Mexican Art
From Hollywood to Havana: Five Decades of Cuban Posters Promoting U.S. Films
Gina Rodriguez on Representations of Latinos in the Media
There’s also videos, informationals, and virtual tours of museums and neighborhoods that highlight artwork.
You can learn about artists and see their work in extreme definition to see the finer details. Find information and the works of artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, or look at the history and work of Gronk, José Martí.
You can even see 150 of the permanent pieces from the pre-Hispanic section at The Mexican Museum. If you click on an individual piece it will even allow you to look at it in better detail and read a bit about it.
I’ve been scrolling forever looking at the artworks and artifacts section and I haven’t even looked at everything else yet.
