Malaquías Montoya quotes
I see their role as the same as ever; the artist is to give voice to the issues that are given to us in a confused manner, so that people can understand the role that they must play...I think the role of the cultural worker is to define those things we receive from those that are in power, and give it back to the community, presented it in a more clear way.
Malaquías Montoya
I remember sometimes growing up I would feel ashamed of my mom or my dad if they came to pick us up at school, because they never looked like all the other mothers and fathers; they were always dirty because they had been out in the fields, drove in to pick us up at 3:00 so we could go to work...So I remember when I heard Chávez speak, when I saw him on television, I remember thinking that my mom and dad had actually contributed to the wealth of this country and I shouldn't feel embarrassed by them or feel bad for them.
