This dissertation is an intervention into the sociocultural imaginaries surrounding New York City in the late 1960's to the early 1980's. Through the implementation of biographical, social art histories, textual and visual analyses, I bring to light the visual narratives created, directed, and administered for and by the immigrant communities of NYC's Lower East Side. Focusing on the alternative art scene, the dissertation discusses the critical role of the visual arts in the fight for community self-determination and voice. I achieve this by analyzing grassroots arts and culture initiatives spearheaded by the Puerto Rican community of Loisaida and student-based movements in Chinatown. To shed light onto the instrumental role of arts activism for communities, I delve into print media, public art, and architecture projects, demonstrating how the initiatives fostered a critical consciousness around communities' ethnic, racial, and cultural identities. From the arts and cultural collective Charas and their geodesic dome project which galvanized a consciousness around community and place, to the newsletter, The Quality of Life in Loisaida, which harnessed expression to unify residents under a mutual struggle, to the muralism movement in Chinatown in which artists inspired an awareness around Asian American identity and activism, to the publication, Bridge: The Magazine of Asians in America which fostered a diverse array of expressions, as the dissertation demonstrates, the arts were instrumental in developing strong, independent, and successful communities. Harnessing the productive, intellectual, and creative potential of themselves and their neighbors, the efforts put forth by these arts activists, highlight the seminal role of local arts and culture programing in transforming residents into activists and neighborhoods into communities.
