The Instagram account Veteranas and Rucas is a flashback to the 90s Latinx communities of Southern California. The pics, digital or digitalized, worn out by time, show in a casual way the social and intimate life of women whose adolescence passed by in the troubled SoCal of that decade. The more than 4,000 photographs make up the surprising archive built by Chicano artist Guadalupe Rosales (1980) through her own research, open calls and spontaneous collaborations. Something that began in 2015 as a way to connect with her family and culture has led to a growing and ambitious archive project of the SoCal Latino community of the 90’s (and 80’s, and even back), to which the Vincent Price Art Museum dedicates an exhibition under the title of «Echoes of a Collective Memory».
