Tatiana Reinoza, PhD.

Assistant Professor of Art History, Dept. of Art, Art History & Design, University of Notre Dame

Tatiana Reinoza earned her doctorate in art history from the University of Texas at Austin. Her research and writing focus on contemporary Latinx art. She specializes in the history of printmaking with an emphasis on the themes of immigration, race, and histories of colonialism. Her current book project Reclaiming the Americas: Latinx Art and the Politics of Territory is an interdisciplinary study that examines how Latinx artists adopted the medium of printmaking, historically used by Europeans to chart and claim New World territories, to reclaim the lands of the Americas as belonging to indigenous, migrant, mestiza/o, and Afro-descendant people. It brings together the subjects of art, immigration, and geography to shine a light on one of the most popular, and yet understudied, mediums for Latinx artists. Professor Reinoza is also coediting an anthology that will commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the East Los Angeles workshop Self Help Graphics. Her academic writing has appeared in journals, edited anthologies, and exhibition catalogues such as ¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now (2020). Before joining the University of Notre Dame, she taught art history at Dartmouth College, where she held a three-year Society of Fellows postdoctoral fellowship.
