Sidedoor: Cheech Marin Gets Artsy

Graphic for Sidedoor 3.12

In the 1970s and ’80s, Cheech Marin was famous for being half of the stoner comedy duo “Cheech and Chong.” Today, he’s a passionate advocate for Chicano art and is raising awareness around a uniquely Mexican American aesthetic: rasquachismo. In this episode of Sidedoor, Cheech Marin is our guide to the wildly creative and ingenious world of rasquachismo—the Chicano art of working with what you’ve got.
