Detail of “Visible/Invisible Journeys” by Nayda Collazo-Llorens
Interference charges this issue in both content and form. Notably, its varied definitions powerfully reflect the subject and methodology of Chicana/Latina studies: involvement without invitation, an unwanted signal that disrupts reception, a hindrance or obstruction that prevents an expected outcome or thwarts an opposing player, a process that produces a new pattern. we selected the theme of interference and broke established format by orchestrating a fluid juxtaposition of creative and critical works.
