This article presents information regarding the San Diego-based multidisciplinary Border Art Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo (BAW/TAF). It is not as if the hybrid cultures of the Southwest have never been represented in a gallery. Corporate backing of shows by Latino artists and institutional efforts to include their work have become increasingly frequent throughout the country. But BAW/TAF does not attempt to define a Latino aesthetic, nor are its efforts easy to understand. The group's dialectical reinterpretation of ethnicity and assimilation, with its implicit critique of separatism, sets its art apart from the activist-inspired Chicano art that emerged in the 1970's.
