    I decided to go somewhere local so I went to the MOLAA museum in Long Beach.  At first, I didn’t think I would be able to find much here because the museum was small but I actually found quite a few that I liked.  I really like day of the dead art so instantly the screen print “Sun Mad” by Ester Hernandez got my attention.  Ester was known for making chicano civil rights art starting from the 60s to the 80s .  This specific print was about how people were using pesticides and chemicals in commercial grape growing that not only harmed the fruits but also the people who consumed and grew them.  I liked how it showed a woman that was a skeleton playing with the whole idea how all of the pesticides would eventually kill you over something that has no true need for it.  I think it has a positive message bringing awareness to whats in the products we consume.
