Honoring women through creative arts on the Eastside

A women "artivists" collective — artists and community activists— known as Mujeres de Maiz have kept Women's History Month alive for 16 years. The group performs in Boyle Heights and on the Eastside, and presented a series of events titled Identity Blinging: an Interdisciplinary, Intercultural, Intergenerational Experience Honoring International Women’s Day & Women’s Herstory Month.  A community journalist and a poet at heart, one reporter from Boyle Heights Beat immersed herself in the story.
