Awakening Hearts, Changing Lives
UIC students Mariah Moreno and James “Cantinflas” Esparza.
Congratulations to all the students who participated in our first Artist in Residence open studio public program, and special thanks to Maestro Hector Duarte for making the art process an inclusive experience for all. The mural will be displayed on the north wall of Lecture Center B in support of the Student ACCESS Bill between April and May 2016.
The mural, part of an event titled “Mobilizing with Art for Social Transformation,” was spearheaded by the Fearless Undocumented Alliance, a student organization on campus, along with the LCC and the Asian American Resource and Cultural Center. The event was part of the UIC Peace Project, an initiative of the Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change that strives to create dialogue and shift language and actions to put peacemaking into practice.
