The Mexican Muralist Movement began as an effort to unite Mexico after the divisive Revolution and create a new national identity. One of the most notable muralists was José Clemente Orozco whose paintings were vivid and intense. He sought to show the horrors of the fighting, and the sacrifices Mexicans made for a new country.

Episode 12: Orozco's The Trench

In this podcast we use art as a platform to examine stories about Mexico’s past and present. Each episode examines some famous works of art through the perspectives of a Mexican national, a Chicano, and a White American. Through these “new voices" we explore and rethink many of the stories we’ve been told about Mexico – and the United States – and its relevance to American contemporary life.

Our podcast is co-hosted and produced by Ross Chambless, with insight and commentary from Susan Vogel, Fanny Guadalupe Blauer, Luis Lopez, Jorge Rodriguez, Ciriac Alvarez, and others.

This podcast complements our community classes on Mexican Art and History taught through Artes de Mexico en Utah. Our goal is to reach younger and diverse English speaking audiences, and help young Latinos connect positively with Mexico and their heritage and culture.
