"Standing beside Ester Hernandez's striking screenprint, former Self Help Graphics & Art director Marvella Muro reminded the Monarchs of the ground rules - respect the space, respect the artwork and speak up - before noting some of the injustices that inspired the art on the walls before them."
"It's OK to be frustrated. You don't have to be happy all the time, but it's important to channel that frustration into something useful. Think about what makes you angry, and use what you care about to change her story."
The Huntington Library hosted Lunar New Year festivities, attracting a group of preteens known as the Radical Monarchs. They visited the 'Radical Histories' exhibit, which showcases Chicanx and Indigenous resistance through printmaking. Tour guide Marvella Muro emphasized respect for the artwork and discussed injustices related to farmworkers' rights, women's rights, and environmental justice. A Monarch shared her experience of gender discrimination in sports. Artist Marissa Magdalena Sykes encouraged the girls to channel their frustrations into activism and to use their passions to create change.
