These artist books echo the form and spirit of amoxtli codices of the Mexica (“Aztec”) and Maya through their accordion-style design. Each limited-edition book features a reproduction of installations, paintings, and prints by artists whose legacies reach deeply into our communities, enhance collective memory, create new awareness, and contribute to a greater understanding of the rich cultural diversity of the U.S.
Celebrating the Chicana Legacy Codices brings together Celia Herrera Rodríguez, Yreina D. Cervántez, Felicia Rice, Nicole Rudolph, and Laura E. Pérez to reflect on the series.
