The Chicago Humanities Festival Presents…
David De Baca: Inside the World of Teen Angel's Magazine
[ About the Event ]
David “Teen Angel” Holland (now deceased) was the creator and publisher of the groundbreaking Teen Angel’s Magazine, which began in 1980. While the iconic Lowrider Magazine, founded in 1977, predates Teen Angel's Magazine by about three years, Teen Angel's carved its own influential niche by focusing more deeply on Chicano art, tattoo culture, and grassroots voices, including those from incarcerated communities.
Join curator David De Baca — Holland’s closest friend and estate director — as he shares insights into preserving Holland’s legacy and the cultural impact of Teen Angel's Magazine on generations of artists and communities.
[ Moderator ] J. Gibran Villalobos, MFA
[ Presented by the Chicago Humanities Festival with generous support in part by ITW, the Terra Foundation for American Art, Wintrust, and Slow & Low: Chicago Lowrider Festival. ]
