2) Judy Chicago. The Dinner Party, 1974–79. Ceramic, porcelain, textile, 576 × 576 in. (1463 × 1463 cm).

Caption: The Dinner Party comprises a massive ceremonial banquet, arranged on a triangular table with a total
of thirty-nine place settings, each commemorating an important woman from history. The settings consist of
embroidered runners, gold chalices and utensils, and china-painted porcelain plates with raised central motifs
that are based on vulvar and butterfly forms and rendered in styles appropriate to the individual women being
honored. The names of another 999 women are inscribed in gold on the white tile floor below the triangular
table.

Note from Sharyn: I’ve included 3 close-up photos of The Dinner Party below. Feel free to search up other
close-ups on your own.

4) Felix Gonzalez-Torres, “Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)", 1991

Caption: Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s work Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.), 1991 is an installation which
consists out of a pile of candies, individually wrapped into cellophane, placed in the corner of the room. The
installation initially weighted 80 kilograms, corresponding to the weight of Gonzalez-Torres’ partner, Ross
Laycock, who died of AIDS in 1991.

The artist encouraged spectators to take a candy.

5) “La Nueva Chicana” by Viola Correa

Hey,
See that lady protesting against injustice,
Es mi Mama.
That girl in the brown beret,
the one teaching the children,
She's my hermana
Over there fasting with the migrants,
Es mi tía.
These are the women who worry,
Pray, iron
And cook chile y tortillas.
The lady with the forgiving eyes
And the gentle smile,
Listen to her shout.
She knows what hardship is all about
All About.
The establishment calls her
A radical militant.
The newspapers read she is
A dangerous subversive
They label her to condemn her.
By the F.B.I. she's called
A big problem
In Aztlán we call her
La Nueva Chicana.

with translations in brackets:

Hey,
See that lady protesting against injustice,
Es mi Mama. [That is my mother.]
That girl in the brown beret,
the one teaching the children,
She's my hermana [sister]
Over there fasting with the migrants,
Es mi tía. [That is my aunt.]
These are the women who worry,
Pray, iron
And cook chile y [and] tortillas.
The lady with the forgiving eyes
And the gentle smile,
Listen to her shout.
She knows what hardship is all about
All About.
The establishment calls her
A radical militant.
The newspapers read she is
A dangerous subversive
They label her to condemn her.
By the F.B.I. she's called
A big problem
In Aztlán we call her
La Nueva Chicana. [The New Chicana]
