Join Andi Xoch, Artist and SHG Studio Coordinator and Apprentice, in conversation with legendary artist Patssi Valdez. The artists will discuss the process and theme of a recently commissioned print created by Patssi in SHG’s serigraph studio. Earlier works created by Patssi will also be highlighted as we invite her to reminisce about her time in the former studio on Gage Ave in East Los Angeles. The program will feature on Facebook Live, recorded and archived on SHGTV.
