The 2020 State of Latinx Art Report conveyed the crisis facing the Latino Art Community and called for unity. This 2021 State of Latinx Art Report will convey that unity is occurring, taking shape, Writer and activist Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante, interviews Houston Art leaders who discuss the State of Latinx Art today.
