Join us on Wednesday, June 12 for an unique In-Person Student Public Art Event

WHAT: In-person Collaborative Public Art-Making Event
by DePaul University Students
WHEN: Thursday, June 12, from 11:30 AM to 1:45 PM
WHERE: Latinx Cultural Center – O’Connell Room 360
at 1036 W. Belden Ave, Lincoln Park

We are very glad to invite you to a special in-person Collaborative Public Art-Making event at the Latinx Cultural Center at DePaul University. Join us from 11:30 AM to 1:45 PM and experience remarkable art projects by students from the “Historical Memory Project: Ni Olvido, Ni Perdón” class. Students will also invite people who attend to join in the art making. This unique event will feature projects that can provide insights into:

• The role of Guatemala’s textiles as a centuries-old form of Indigenous cultural resistance.
• The impact of El Salvador’s mega prisons, their connection to gang culture, and societal consequences.
• The ongoing resistance and oppression faced by the Trans community in Honduras.

There will be other thought-provoking projects highlighting the continuous fight for human rights in Central America. This event is the culmination of a collaboration between CRLN and HumanitiesX at DePaul University. In 2023, CRLN was honored with a fellowship by DePaul University, allowing us to work closely with the exceptional professors Susana Martínez and Lydia Saravia. You can read more about this unique and inspiring project here.

We look forward to seeing you there. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at jgomez@clrn.org, or mmckenna@crln.org.
