QUOTE: In a 2007 interview with Leland Quarterly, Chagoya describes one of his first series, created for a group protesting the invasion of Central America by the Reagan Administration: “I was in need of a therapeutic outlet; it takes a very tough spirit to do social work—to not become overwhelmed by the grandness and intricacy of the world, the underlying sensation that one is barely, if at all, significant. So while my work was politically and socially motivated in terms of the content, I was really making art for myself… exercising my freedom of expression. Occasionally I feel a bit guilty about the self-indulgence of it, but I think we must be self-indulgent in exercising our rights, our political and social voice. And I welcome others to be self-indulgent in that regard as well. Vive la difference!” https://lelandq.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/in-conversation-with-enrique-chagoya/
