The CHLFSA’s Spotlighting Pláticas Series seeks to build community and solidarity on campus by highlighting the life, work, and experiences of our faculty, staff, and students on campus—to learn more intimately about the path they traveled to get to Sac State, their current work and projects, and future plans. This Spring 2021, we are proud to present: Brenda Romero, Danielle Munoz, and Jovanna Justo-Sanchez.

Thursday, February 25th, 1-2pm

Join the Chicanx/Latinx Faculty & Staff Association (CHLFSA) in partnership with the One World Initiative, the Center on Race, Immigration, and Social Justice (CRISJ), and Sol Collective, to learn about art and social movements while creating artwork! The workshop includes a brief introduction to the relationship between art and social movements in different parts of the world, with an emphasis on North America. Also, a guided drawing and collaging activity, designed to help you connect your personal experience with the experiences of other people, their communities, and your ancestors.
