Join Hector O. Hernandez and Aneesa Shami Zizzo for an artist and curator walkthrough of My America Is Not Your America on Saturday, July 3 from 3pm-4pm. This solo exhibition is a visual timeline that shares Hernandez’s renderings of current events, including the ongoing pandemic and social unrest in our communities.

We will have a casual conversation about how this collaboration began, what inspired us along the way, and our general process of working together.
