This was such a powerful talk! I really enjoyed learning about the ways that Barberena used his art to connect with and advocate for his communities. The raw and vulnerable themes discussed in the presentation were quite moving – the two pictures I posted were specifically interesting to me. The first is a print of a 15-year-old boy killed by police during a peaceful protest and the second image is his mother holding the poster. I look forward to learning more from this artist through his residency at Bucknell!
