Founded by Sister Karen Boccalero, a Franciscan nun and student of Sister Corita Kent, along with artists Carlos Bueno, Antonio Ibáñez, and Frank Hernández in an East LA garage, Self Help Graphics understood art production as a social practice, and sought to fortify the local community through arts education and art-making that celebrated Chicanx identities and experiences.plain2023-03-25T20:32:39+00:001970Gina Leonf0ac362b4453e23ee8a94b1a49fbeeafde2a0a49
