your lives. The roots of your culture-language, food, music, and struggle-are sources of inspiration for your art. The lines,
bright colors, and bold shapes of your pictures reflect the dynamic and gentle heartbeats of La Raza. By sharing this experience
with our community we can feel the energy, hear the songs and see the dance emerge from your art. In our struggle against
