Jillian Hernandez November 5, 2019 Critical Collages (post 1 of 3) These images are works produced by members of the class for the Critical Collage project, which is inspired by Maria Andrea Dos Santos Soares’s article, “Look: Blackness in Brazil!: Disrupting the Grotesquerie of Racial Representation in Brazilian Visual Culture,” Cultural Dynamics 24 (1): 75-101, 2012. Inspired by Dos Santos Soares’s technique of using collage to analyze stereotypical representations of Black Brazilians, students created digital and 2-D collages that explored some of the stereotypical tropes of Latinx sexuality. Students creatively responded to dominant representations of queer Latinx, queer Cuban marielitos, Afro Latinas, religious figures, and Puerto Rican women. Jillian Hernandez November 5, 2019
