In the midst of the 2020 pandemic year, three of us-- Professor Angharad N. Valdivia with students Stephanie Perez, and Ariana A. Cano—got together for a semester-long independent study on Latina Feminist Media Studies.  We relished the opportunity to read and learn together about issues of media, gender, and Latinidad. As Latinas/Chicanas two of us (Stephanie and Ariana) celebrated our 15th birthday through a quinceañera celebration.  Ariana shared, much to our delight and admiration, that she was a quinceañera choreographer—having choreographed over 30 Quinceañeras in her career.  Stephanie’s quinceañera united her family from Guatemala in a Los Angeles celebration. Angharad, being from Chile, the one country in South America that does not celebrate this rite of passage, had nonetheless noticed how quinceañeras had recently become a nearly required component of most mainstream media’s content about Latina girls. As we began to plan this exhibit, Dr. Dora Valkanova joined the Quince team. Dora is a film scholar with production skills—she was the ideal fourth person for our team. She is the curator and editor of our photo and video components.
