Meet the Artists: Harvey Castro and Izzi Valencia
Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at 4 PM

This exhibition offers an intimate look into the lives of people overcoming adversity, emphasizing their strength and solidarity. Through the eyes of two artists deeply connected to their roots, visitors are invited to engage with stories of resistance in existence.

In the last week of this exhibition, join curator Ann Trinca and photographers Harvey Castro and Izzi Valencia for a walk-through of Echoes of Resilience: Reclaiming History. The exhibition documents the enduring spirit of communities facing climate disasters, cultural preservation, and the dignity of labor.  Castro’s “Los Olvidados” series captures the profound impact of natural disasters on marginalized populations, while Izzi Valencia’s work focuses on the unification and organization efforts of Maya Mam, Mixteca, Chatino, Wixárica, and Nahua communities.
