Last month in April I attended the Natural Witness Exhibition curated by the artist Miyo Stevens, and Dalia Paola Mendez at Self Help Graphics in Boyle Heights.
My screen-printing teacher, Christian Ward at Long Beach City College also had his "Nueve Plantas" series of
screen-printed plants on home-made paper.

The atmosphere was refreshing and the air was filled with the aroma of burning shade. I have to thank, La Botanica Del Barrio for sharing her natural brewed tea. Most of the artists art is inspired by indigenous plants and ancient healing remedies.

Many of the Artists were friendly and down to Earth ready to teach us about the history of plant life< and agriculture.
If there is something that interested me the most, it had to be this quote I seen. "BIO-PIRACY"
After the exhibition, I went and told all my my friends about this word for more awareness in out history of indigenous culture.
