Hispanic Heritage Fiesta

An Interactive Exploration 

Special guest Jose Faus brings together the dynamics of immigration told through the lens of visual art and poetry. This event showcases a personal journey from the heart of Colombia to the heart of the United States, exploring the conundrum of belonging in unfamiliar surroundings while straddling two different cultures and narratives. Jose Faus is an independent teacher, artist and founder of the Latino Writers Collective in Kansas City.

The Student Organization of Latinx, or SOL (pronounced soul), gives students the opportunity to build leadership skills and to share their cultures with other students, faculty, staff, and the community at large. In addition, the club provides a chance for camaraderie and support for the purpose of retention and to help students to reach their educational goals.

SOL is hosting this event, with the support of the Art Gallery, on Wednesday, October 15th at 11 a.m. on the main campus in Jewell, lower level event space.
