Join us for an ARTivism workshop to honor and learn about the Festival de Mujeres 1979 and envision a monument to Latina legacies in Pilsen. This historic, Latina-led street festival was organized by the community group Mujeres Latinas en Acción in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago's West Side.
Participants will learn more about the Pilsen Latina Legacies Project and the Festival and engage in a zine activity to gather ideas for a future monument that centers the history of Pilsen Latinas in Chicago. We will engage with Festival co-organizer, 2023 Latinx Artist Fellow, and Pilsen Latina Legacies Lead Artist, Diana Solís, and Professor Hinda Seif, PhD (University of Illinois at Springfield).
Presented by WLRC and the Latino Cultural Center. Co-sponsored by Latin American and Latino Studies, Museum and Exhibition Studies, and Gender and Women's Studies.
