Visions From Within

Visions From Within, on view at Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos, showcases the creativity and resilience of individuals currently incarcerated. Through painting, drawing, and poetry, artists share deeply personal reflections on identity, hope, justice, and transformation. Through drawings, painting, and video, the exhibition invites viewers to look beyond the prison walls and see the humanity, talent, and vision that persist in even the most constrained circumstances.

Artists: Paul Aguilar, Kenneth Godoy, Frank Florez, Armando Ybarra, Ira B. Johnson, Joe Felix, Damian Herrera, Grace “Bones” Ward, Christina “Genie” Medina, Sonny Trujillo, Elizabeth Lozano
