Califas: The Ancestral Journey/ El Viaje Ancestral

Califas: The Ancestral Journey / El Viaje Ancestral grows out of the Califas Legacy Project led by Museo Eduardo Carrillo which documents four decades of work by five Chicano/a/x artists from the Central Coast region of California: Yermo Aranda, Eduardo Carrillo (1937-1997), Ralph D’Oliveira, Carmen León, and Amalia Mesa-Bains. The project is multifaceted and includes an online resource, a documentary film, a traveling exhibition, and community programming. Under the direction of Felicia Rice of Moving Parts Press, together with Museo, it also reunites these five artists in a collaborative and unique artists’ book.
