The exhibition Regeneración: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology at the Vincent Price Art Museum (VPAM) explores three radical artistic movements and publications that spanned the Mexico–US border and the 20th century, all with the name Regeneración. The first is the anarchist newspaper founded by the Los Angeles-based, Mexican Flores Magón brothers and which ran from 1900 to 1918; followed by the journal Regeneración (1970–75), connected to the artistic collective ASCO, and which emerged as an important voice of the Chicano Movement.
