Lina Maria Giraldo | Bridging Communities of Color Through Art and Storytelling




Campus On The Common show

Summary: The Latinx community is a complex, diverse group of people that have had a massive, unquestionable influence on North American culture and society. Whether it is music, art, sports or politics, you can’t tell the story of US history without Latinx history. Yet, for far too long in this country, this group has been oppressed, forgotten, and treated as a monolith. So, in a moment where many social movements have enveloped the nation, how can one tell the intricate story of the Latinx experience in America, and how can those stories be used to bridge communities and create significant, lasting change.
