Poster 3

 

Luchadora

In this print I chose to highlight words that have previously been used as insults towards Latinas but have now been reclaimed. The word, “Chola” meaning a Latina who is gang-affiliated, “Malcriada” meaning a woman who misbehaves, and “Bruja” meaning witch. The final word however means “fighter” and the male version of the word (luchador) is used most commonly. The purpose of this print is to reclaim and combat these negative stereotypes of Latinas and by highlighting the resilience of Latinx people.
