CARRASCO PUBLIC LECTURE:
Ms. Carrasco is one of the most famous artists of the Chicana/o movement; she created banners and poster art for the United Farm Workers movement led by Cesar Chaves and Dolores Huerta and is a current board member of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. Carrasco was on an art exchange to Russia when the Chernobyl accident happened. She returned to the states and began to show signs of cancer. Her public lecture will speak about her experiences as a cancer survivor and the impact on her subsequent art practice. Please circulate and announce widely. I hope you will be able to attend this special presentation.
