Alfredo Gonzalez, El Alma del Cosmos.

​This exhibition highlights 40 years of art, history, and activism by La Piedra Art Collective and its multilayered social and cultural contributions to state history and culture. The collective is a group of artists united by their ethos, cultural affinity, and inclination for social justice, and it includes members with roots in the development of the Clinica Monseñor Oscar A. Romero and El Centro Cultural Centroamericano in Los Angeles. That Stubborn Resistance explores themes of war, memory, and healing. The exhibition features paintings and sculptural works that offer a profound visual perspective on community resilience. Oral history interviews of the artists, conducted by the Central American Historical and Ancestral Society of California (CAHAAS), accompany the artworks.
