Artist Statement

The 21st Congressional District is a pretty expansive one. As I was researching its history, I was reminded of Cesar Chavez' and Dolores Huerta's inspiring work in Delano, CA, which led to the formation of the United Farm Workers. While reading, I came across the phrase "el pueblo que pierde su historia pierde su destino" (the community that loses its history, loses its destiny) and knew that it was important to remind voters of the spirit of protest and resistance that brought historic changes to the district in the past. - Christopher Wachter
