The Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Initiatives invites you to join a film screening event featuring Strawberry Picker produced by Inspira Studios. This special event has been organized in celebration and recognition of Latinx Heritage Month, and is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

Our special guests, Juan R. Fuentes and filmmakers, Maria Cano-Bonner and Eugenia Renteria, from Inspira Studios will join us in a panel discussion on the importance of Latinx representation in media and the arts, and the inspiration for their work.
