“Art and Organizing: La Lucha Sigue” with Ricardo Pérez Gonzalez

Artist and activist Ricardo Pérez Gonzalez is United’s inaugural artist-organizer-in-residence, and has served both our Leadership Center for Social Justice and the Theology and Arts program since last fall. He has also been facilitating our monthly arts and social transformation lunches. Now we want to celebrate Ricardo with an exhibit of and talk about his work. 

Born and raised in Mexico, Ricardo is a self-taught mixed media artist with more than 15 year of creative experience. Now a Twin Cities resident, Ricardo recently created murals to reflect a spirit of collaboration with marginalized communities and lift up those whose voices need to be heard. He is partial to watercolor and ink media. La lucha sigue means “The struggle continues.”

Join us on Friday, May 31 at 7:00 PM to celebrate Ricardo’s art and activitism. Enjoy light refreshments before the event. Come to the chapel for an artist talk, and stay for questions and answers afterward.

Hope to see you there!
