“I’m really using the cars to help tell the story of Chicano and Black L.A., and how young men were using cars to express identity, to build community,” said Dr. Denise Sandoval, a professor of Chicano Studies at Cal State Northridge and part of the curating team. “What we were drawn to was the way that people of color also began to explore their identities, learn customizing skills, and build community. I think the lowrider, in particular, has become an iconic part of Chicano culture.”
