Three worlds exhibition – Arias, Fuentes, Banjo

Art Hazelwood is paying tribute to African American artist Casper Banjo who was widely known in the Bay Area before he was tragically shot by Oakland Police last year.
Rene Yanez has put together the work of Luis Arias Vera and Juan Fuentes.
Vera, born in Peru, and now living in Berkeley has strong ties in Spain where he has been commissioned to create a significant public art sculpture.
Juan Fuentes has been a part of the Chicano poster movement since the early 1970s.
He has created screenprint posters for countless community groups and political causes.
