in progress - living latino

 
 
  1. Living Latino represents the expansion of The Fresh Voices program that first began in 1996 as a pilot project for ten youth living in what was then, the small farming community of Crookston Minnesota. The project that originally lasted five days, used video creation as a means for facilitating dialogue about racism within the local community. That first program has provided a strong foundation for new growth, and now provides a place for public voice amongst those least represented -- youth and the Latino community.  There is a plethora of amazing artwork by our Latino media artists.  Whether through photography or video, the stories are compelling and reflective of what young Latinos value in their lives.

 

In Progress artist Carlos Beltrano first started as a participant in our Colorado based Living Latino Program.  Many years later, he is still actively involved both as an artist and an instructor to a whole new generation of In Progress artists.
