La Ofrenda, 1989

Mural ‎La Ofrenda is a dedication to immigrants, political exiles, and all immigrants. Cervántez attempts to put into context the struggles in Latin America in the 70s with the Chicano/Chicana struggle in the US. Common struggle is the theme. Cervántez depicts the positive and transformative role that women play in creating change by having Dolores Huerta be the central figure of the piece. There are references to indigenous spirituality such as the burning the copal and the sage. Rosanna Martin
