Sybil Venegas is one the first art historians to historicize Chicana art. In addition, as one of the few Chicanas involved in art history, she was in a unique position to dispel some of the prevalent gender stereotypes and to put Chicana art on an equal scholarly footing as mainstream art.
A heartfelt thanks to the Benson Latin American Collection, UT Libraries, and the Center for Latin American Visual Studies (CLAVIS) for including the ICAA staff in a recent viewing of special collections holdings related to Latinx art and artists.
