R.C.A.F. Influence

Facilitated by arts advocate Carissa Gutierrez as part of RCAF Mid-Flight, this panel brings together contemporary artists whose work is exhibited alongside original Royal Chicano Air Force members. Panelists will share what the RCAF means to them, personal stories of influence, collaboration, and mentorship, and reflect on the artworks they selected for the exhibition. The conversation highlights creative lineage, intergenerational exchange, and how the RCAF’s spirit continues to shape artistic voices today.
