#Repost || Aunt Jemima and Friends Hit the Road or Another Chapter in the History of American Stereotypes

I posted this on my Facebook page a year ago, but it merits reposting here on the Textmex Galleryblog owing to its connection to my book:

Wow! A magic moment in the semiotic history of the Americas as Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and the Cream of Wheat Porter face extinction!

Uncle Ben

Cream of Wheat porter, next?

Here also, is page #142 from Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucination of the "Mexican" in America--where the connection between Jemima and other Ethnic American superstars (I am talking about you, Speedy!) get their day in the sun.

@cmonstah ... great column! https://t.co/1jfeFWBYuJ

J. Lindenfield “If you remember one thing from last night’s #oscars it should be that LA displaced an unhoused community so that they could pretend to care about them by giving a movie about unhoused people best picture.”

What is Mextasy!? An Introduction to the Pop-Up "Circus of Desmadres" -- A Traveling Exhibition Coming Soon to a Gallery, Museum, or University Near You!

Updated October 21, 2020 | Last updated April 30, 2021

Mextasy: Seductive Hallucinations of Latina/o Mannequins Prowling the American Unconscious is a traveling pop-up or gallery-based art show/exhibit based on the work of William "Memo" Nericcio and Guillermo Nericcio García. The traveling exhibition was originally curated by Leticia Gómez Franco for Casa Familiar, San Ysidro, California, and Rachel Freyman Brown, South Texas College, McAllen, Texas. Upcoming shows are UC Riverside (virtual via Zoom, thx Covid!) and the University of Detroit, Mercy (eventually). Recent exhibitions include shows at Iowa State University and the Nepantla Cultural Arts Center, Seattle, Washington--other noteworthy gigs include performances at Northwestern University, Wabash College, California State University, San Bernardino, and Franklin & Marshall College.

Mextasy both reflects on and expands upon Nericcio's 2007 American Library Association award-winning book with UT Press, Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the Mexican in America. In addition to racist artifacts from American mass culture (the bread and butter of Uncle Sam's unconscious and the backstory for the resurgence in anti-Mexican, anti-Latina/o peoples presently), the show also features works that is "xicanosmotic," that is, works by Mexican-American artists where the delicious fusion of the Mexican/US borderlands/frontera is writ large as in the deliriously delicious artistic tracings of Raul Gonzalez III, Perry Vasquez, Rafaella Suarez, and Izel Vargas.

Visitors to this page interested in having MEXTASY invade their local gallery/university of choice should contact us here.
