Plática: The Making of Transportapueblos: Companion of Migrants

Join the Museum, Now Art, La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, and LIBRE for Plática: The Making of Transportapueblos: Companion of Migrants on Tuesday, February 25 at 7:00 p.m. for a roundtable discussion on the origins of the sculptures and their symbology of safety, hope and unity, moderated by Jennifer Gutiérrez.

In November 2019, the Museum of Social Justice and Now Art partnered with Mexican artist Alfredo "LIBRE" Gutiérrez to bring his Transportapueblos: Companion of Migrants to Los Angeles, a series of nine coyote sculptures placed along the train route that many Central American migrants travel through Mexico. The Resilientes is the first sculpture of the series to be made outside of Mexico. For two weeks LIBRE constructed the coyote on the plaza of El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument and can now be seen by visitors at La Plaza's Historic Paseo Walkway.
