Place-Keepers: Boricua Community Led Muralism

Moderated by Jessica Lopez Lyman, this panel features muralists Olivia Levins Holden and Colectivo Moriviví, and highlights how artivism—a combination of art and activism, solidarity movements, and mural traditions rooted in Chicanx feminism—is essential to how they work in community. Co-sponsored by the Katherine E. Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota. This event is part of the related programming for the exhibition, Vaivén: 21st-Century Art of Puerto Rico and Its Diaspora, on view from September 9 – December 6, 2025 at the Katherine E. Nash Gallery, Minneapolis.
