DESCRIPTION:The MAH welcomes you to a virtual community conversation about the value of 
 acknowledging community truth, struggle, and resilience through murals with

 and the censorship of art in public spaces.\n\nMireya Gomez-Contreras is an

 his enormous contributions in mural painting. From San Diego to Santa Cruz, 
 he has completed over 80 murals, the majority in the Santa Cruz and 
 Monterey County areas. His work is defined as contemporary traditional art, 
 reflecting an imagery of indigenous ancestry in the modern world with the 
 timelessness of natural forms, juxtaposed against contemporary images, 
 bold, vibrant and alive. His images reflect old myths and legends, making 
 full circle to the present.\n\nYou can learn more about the mural at the
