Working Classroom

“Creative Currents” led by Eric J Garcia. Creative Currents is on the south wall of Working Classroom’s building. This mural was in honor of our relocation to and purchase of our building in Barelas. Sponsored by the Albuquerque Community Foundation, the FUNd at ACF, PNM and the National Museum of Mexican Art. Alejandra Carmona was the project leader and Rosie Thunderchief was the Mural Assistant alongside Eric. 5 youth apprentices assisted - Quela Bruch, Natalie Cruz, Aron Kruchoski, Lizbeth Miscles, and Adrianna Ortiz.Pictured is a river flowing from one end of a mural to the other. On the river is a person in a boat giving away a stack of books. The end of the river is reaching up in a hand crushing a fighter jet dropping bombs. This signifies the importance of education over war and profit. The border along the bottom is covered with shadows of various plants with an indigenous style motif representing the land that we are on.
