Download iCal FileJoin us for an ARTivism workshop to honor and learn about the Festival de Mujeres
1979 and envision a monument to Latina legacies in Pilsen. This historic, Latina-led
street festival was organized by the community group Mujeres Latinas en Acción in
the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago’s West Side.
Participants will learn more about the Pilsen
Latina Legacies Project, the Festival, and
engage in a zine activity* to gather ideas for a
future monument that centers the history of
Pilsen Latinas in Chicago. We will engage with
Festival co-organizer, 2023 Latinx Artist
Fellow, and Pilsen Latina Legacies Lead Artist
Diana Solís, and Professor Hinda Seif, PhD
(University of Illinois at Springfield).
