From Drive-By Shootings to Chicano Social Movements- #166 Raul Baltazar | Creator

Raul Baltazar wields the power of painting, video, visual art performances, and much more to examine the experiences of the Mestizo Los Angeles Communities, including responses to trauma and post-colonialism. Baltazar has exhibited his community-focused art in LA and internationally, including Mexico, Taiwan, Vienna, and Australia. Baltazar has earned international acclaim and received fellowships to continue his work as an activist artist, working to preserve indigenous cultures. His unique talent for finding common ground between the old and the new is how he expresses pride in his culture and questions the nature of changing identities, bringing to the forefront of conversation groups that have long been overlooked. Raul Baltazar knows art is power and healing and is willing to share his special gifts with the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
