Through painting, drawing, watercolor, mixed media, and printmaking, Pura Diversidad celebrates human diversity while exploring Afro-descendant identity and visibility, migration, cultural memory, spirituality, childhood, and collective protest.Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet Mirta Toledo and hear her speak about her artistic practice and her approach to ARTivism during a public Artist Talk at The Looking Glass at IX Art Park. The conversation will explore how her work connects art, activism, identity, diversity, and social change.Come experience Toledo’s work in person and join a broader conversation about how visual art can bring greater visibility to overlooked histories and communities while creating spaces for dialogue and participation.Opening ReceptionTuesday, October 27 | 5:00–7:00 PMPVCC North Gallery, Piedmont Virginia Community CollegeArtist Talk — Free & Open to the PublicWednesday, October 28 | 4:30 PMThe Looking Glass, IX Art ParkBoth events are free and open to the community.Learn more about Mirta
