Note:"Until I am free to write bilingually and to switch codes without having always to translate, while I still have to speak English or Spanish when I would rather speak Spanglish, and as long as I have to accommodate the English speakers rather than having them accommodate me, my tongue will be illegitimate. I will no longer be made to feel ashamed of existing. I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, white. I will have my serpent's tongue - my woman's voice, my sexual voice, my poet's voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence."
"Cervantes decided to focus on a piece by a famous Tejana, Gloria Anzaldúa, for her serigraph. 'I chose to include this portrait of Gloria because she was a groundbreaking thinker of Chicana/lesbian/feminist theory,' explains Cervantes. The piece honors her legacy by juxtaposing her portrait with Coatlicue the Mexica representation of mother earth" -- Serie Project website.
