SUMMARY:Time to Get Ready: Fotografía Social Civil Rights Photography of Maria Varela
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by social justice activism in her south side Chicago 
 Catholic high school\, Maria Varela accepted an invitation in 1963 to join 
 the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)\, a civil rights 
 organization working in the U.S. south. She helped develop a voter literacy 
 program and by 1965 was the only female staff photographer for SNCC.\n\nIn 
 1968\, she accepted an invitation from Reies Lopez Tijerina to join the 
 Land Grant Movement in New Mexico. While there\, she supported them in 
 establishing co-ops and non-for-profits to help improve their lives. 
 \n\n"The images in this exhibition reflect the evolution of resistance 
 movements over nearly three decades\, from demonstrations to political 
 organizing to establishing alternative institutions\, which would model 
 what we would do 'if we were in charge." - Maria Varela\n\nExhibition 
 organized by the National Museum of Mexican Art\, Chicago\, IL. Sponsors: 
 Chicago Park District\, Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special
