Built beneath a freeway meant to erase a community, Chicano Park stands as a living archive of resistance, identity, and collective power. In this session, participants will move through the park by choosing intentional routes that foreground different justice themes—resistance, cultural pride, solidarity, and intergenerational memory. Using visible thinking routines, participants will closely engage with murals as acts of public storytelling that document struggle, affirm community identity, and call people to action. This experience invites participants to slow down, listen deeply to the stories embedded in the art, and return to reflect on how public art can inspire social justice action in their own communities.
