Since 2015, Rosales has been actively archiving crowd-sourced photos, party flyers, and videos of Chicana/o and Latina/o youth culture in Southern California in the 1990s. Rosales grew up in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles, and began Veteranas and Rucas while living in Chicago, where she received an M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016. According to Rosales, “When I started this project,” she recalled, “I always think of myself and my friends in front of my house looking at the world."
