Artist Victor Ochoa hand-drew this poster for the 3rd anniversary celebration of Chicano Park. The poster honors Centeotl, the Aztec God of Maize (Corn), which is seen in Aztec culture as central to life. Subtitled "New Sprout," the poster ties together Atzec heritage and links it to the new beginnings and importance of the Park to Chicano heritage.
The poster also depicts an easter egg decorated with indigenous patterns.
