Join us to celebrate visiting artist Zaira Ávalos in the Center Theater Gallery. Ávalos is a designer, architect, and printmaker from Oaxaca, Mexico, and a member of the band La China Sonidera that is performing on the Center Stage, Saturday, September 20th. Ávalos creates illustrations primarily about and for Indigenous and Afro-Mexican Oaxacan girls and young women. Through graphic art, she works to help girls and women understand their rights, participate in political decisions in their communities, and strive to strengthen their emotional and physical health. Many of these illustrations, as well as educational games, are taken to different Indigenous communities in Oaxaca to raise awareness about women’s rights.
