The post WWII period – also coined “the Mexican Miracle” – was a prosperous time for some Mexicans, but not for everyone. While urban Mexicans enjoyed new affluence and growth, farmers and indigenous peoples struggled to make ends meet. But this cultural renaissance didn’t last long before young Mexicans challenged older norms and ideas about artistic expression and politics.

Episode 16: The Mexican Miracle and La Raptura

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.
