The initiative Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA explores Latin American and
Latino arts and culture through exhibitions and events in Southern California
in fall and winter 2017–18. As part of the curatorial team for one of the Getty
exhibitions, weʼve been asked several times: where is Latin America? What
is “Latinx?” Is Spanish the only spoken language in all of Latin America? For
anyone wondering the same things, weʼve compiled a guide to the many
facets of Latin American and Latino identity.
