ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Enrique Chagoya is a Mexican-American artist whose paintings, prints, drawings, and multiples examine the intersections of history, politics, religion, and popular culture. Drawing on influences ranging from Aztec codices and European colonial imagery to comic books, advertising, and contemporary media, Chagoya creates layered visual narratives that challenge conventional understandings of cultural identity, power, and historical memory. His work often employs satire and humor to critique colonialism, globalization, and the circulation of images across cultures. Chagoya has exhibited extensively in museums throughout the United States and internationally, and his work is held in major public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Chagoya received an honorary Doctorate from the San Francisco Art Institute, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern Graphics Council International (SGCI) in 2019, and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2021. He is Emeritus Professor at Stanford University’s Department of Art and Art History.
