¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now, an exhibition catalogue for the Smithsonian American Art Museum 2021 exhibition of the same name, was organized by E. Carmen Ramos, acting chief curator and curator of Latinx art at the Smithsonian, alongside Claudia Zapata, curatorial assistant for Latinx art and UT Art History alum (BA, 2005; MA, 2009). The publication and its exhibition was the first to unite historic civil rights era prints alongside works by contemporary printmakers. This year, Association for Latin American Art (ALAA), an affiliate of the College Art Association (CAA), announced ¡Printing the Revolution! as the recipient of the 2022 Thoma Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award.
The Thoma Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award is presented to the lead author or authors of an especially distinguished exhibition catalogue of Latin American or Latinx art, from the Pre-Columbian era to the present, published under the auspices of a museum, library, or collection. The award is generously funded by the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation and consists of a $1,000 honorarium.
The catalogue includes contributions from E. Carmen Ramos, Tatiana Reinoza (UT Art History MA, 2009; PhD, 2016), Terezita Romo, and Claudia E. Zapata.
