"We, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny." ~ Alurista, poet
LA REINA DEL NORTE
Installation | National Museum of Mexican Art 2003
La Reina del Norte was an installation created for the Day of Dead exhibition at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago in 2003.
