In this segment, San Francisco Chicana artist, Carmen Lomas Garza, gives a talk on Mexican American culture and growing up in Kingsville, Texas and life in San Francisco, California, as they are illustrated in her art. She also talks about of Día de los Muertos in connection with offrenda and papel picado works, as well as her offrenda dedicated to her father currently exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of American History. In her introductory remarks she discusses the discrimination she has encountered throughout her life as a Mexican American, especially in her early encounter as a student teacher. She answers questions from the audience at the end of her talk.
