Humanizing Stories

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5

PROGRAM #11041 11:00 AM PT 

Humanizing Stories. 

Artist and scholar Lizbeth De la Cruz Santana presents a living, community-based project that weaves together muralism, storytelling, and activism. In her exhibition Humanizing Stories, she shows how murals emerged as a collective response to the instability of migrant life in the United States. Her work challenges audiences to confront deportation, exile, and their emotional, social, and political impacts within a system that renders people disposable and threatens to erase them from public space.

Muralism takes over Fresno. Mauro Carrera has spent more than a decade transforming public space through muralism, from Calwa Park in southeast Fresno to the downtown museum. His goal is clear: to create art accessible to communities far from traditional galleries. His murals invite audiences to recognize Fresno’s long-neglected Chinatown—its history and its future. Today, his vision reaches Fresno Yosemite International Airport, where he is working on a mural that fosters community dialogue. This is a special program in our arts series in Fresno.

Guests: TBA.
