Coronado's mighty bull reels as if in response to an oncoming threat. The artist considered this an apt metaphor for the resilience of Chicano artists and institutions, many of which have survived against the odds. He issued this image to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the Serie Project, an influential print residency in Austin, Texas, that Coronado founded in 1996 to nurture Chicano and Latino artists.
