...besides mine.Xispas is an interesting blog well worth your time, focusing on Chicano art, culture, and politics. There is much political content on the blog, much about the war in Iraq, much about current Mexican politics and political activism. It seems impossible, at most any point through the last two centuries, to separate art from social activism. Granted, there will always be artists who paint things like cottages covered with snow and plates with schnauzers on them... but in most every corner of the world there are those who use their creativity as a means for effecting change.
