This project examines the misrepresentation of Chicano visual culture and challenges the narratives that have long defined it. Focusing on art expression through: murals, tattoos, and lowriders, it positions these forms not as symbols of deviance, but as layered expressions of identity, resistance, and cultural pride. Through design and storytelling, the work seeks to reframe perception and expand understanding.
