EQUITY STATEMENT

Self Help Graphics and Art (SHG) emerged from the need to have a cultural space in Los Angeles that was reflective of Chicana/o and Latinx heritages and cultures. SHG was born during the fervent time of the Chicano Civil Rights Movement to provide Chicana/o and Latinx residents in East Los Angeles with arts education, culturally relevant events, and a platform for them to create and share their work. Today SHG continues to be the preeminent center for Latinx art in printmaking, exhibition, training, and resource for young and emerging artists.

Because SHG’s foundation is rooted in the struggle against systemic forms of oppression we continue our holistic commitment to equity and inclusion by:

• SHG’s artistic production, exhibitions, and educational programming centers the experiences of Chicana/o and Latinx communities.

• SHG recognizes its role as steward of a place that is on the unceded ancestral land of the Tongva people.

• SHG works toward anti-racism generally and anti-Blackness specifically, both internally and externally.

• SHG supports and mentors artists working for social change.

• SHG is a participant in an ecosystem of cooperation locally and regionally.

• SHG advocates in support of social justice.

• SHG actualizes and embodies equity and inclusion intersectionally.

• SHG aligns its operations with its values of social justice, equity and inclusion, honoring histories and practices, and empowering people.
