Mexican Chicana alumna and mural artist Brenda Vargas ’22 is unveiling Centro de Educación Aztlán, a meaningful mural to help strengthen the academic 身份 of UNC’s Hispanic, Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x population. The mural, composed of three panels, will be presented on 星期四,2月. 下午4:30., at the west alcove on the main floor of Michener 图书馆. The intention of this mural is to create a community space not only for those who identify themselves as Chicana/o/x, Latina/o/x and Hispanic but for everyone who is looking for a space to build an academic 身份. The project is possible thanks to an alliance between the artist, the Chicana/o Latinx studies department, Michener 图书馆 and UNC’s Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as part of the university’s efforts to become a Hispanic Serving Institution.
