One mural at a time , I've done over 100 murals in Los Angeles . It's about the representation and a message of empowerment and it's achieved not just through me but through the community . My name is Sergio Roberto .
We interviewed teachers , locals , business people , city officials to get ideas and kind of the resounding theme was we just want them to go on and go to college and we want them to know that we're behind them . And while doing so also being acknowledging their culture and where they came from , the one thing I know for sure is that art is very powerful . It's a silent dialogue .
And the reason why I even got into teaching is because it gave me something to care about . When I reflect on the opportunity I have to do these murals . I'm just grateful and the end game for me is not necessarily myself being on the platform .
But before we get to the feasting for the festivity , we hit the streets with a local artist . Inspiring change . One mural at a time , I've done over 100 murals in Los Angeles .
I'm from Los Angeles and I'm a fine artist . Muralist and educated . My dad immigrated actually here to Boyle Heights from Nicaragua .
