About Us

Presented in a museum collection format, this interdisciplinary exploration includes speeches, correspondence, event posters, photographs, filmed interview clips, an introductory narrative and timeline that defines the Caucus’ history, structure and purpose, and their national impact on 1970s second wave feminism.
Jessica Thomas
Graphic design gurini, responsible for crafting the look and feel of Chicana Diasporic. "I was commissioned to create opening visuals for Linda’s site, Chicana Diasporic: A Nomadic Journey of the Activist Exiled. For the main page and the separate section openers I aimed to visually represent history and documentation as well as a connection between the different images and events. I stuck to sepia tones to play up the idea of history and I used lines to represent connectivity."
