Description:
|
For the Chicano/Mexican American/Latinx community in Colorado, murals have served to educate communities, especially the youth, about their history and culture. They tell stories of a community's history of struggle and resilience and spiritual connection to land and to one another. "The murals represent the memory of a people. They say 'I am here' and validate voices who are facing ever fewer cultural support systems," according to preservationist Lucha Martinez. Please join our own Professor Tony Ortega, History Colorado's Lucha Martinez, and renowned muralist/artist Emanuel Martinez for a conversation about the power and preservation of Colorado's murals and mural tradition.
