Capítulo 013: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by Rafael Menendez, founder of Maltas Con Leche. Listen in as we discuss family unity through the engagement with the arts, mural making, and raising creative children.
"Maltas Con Leche is a family of artist established since 2012. Maltas consists of nine members and growing. As a family we have participated in workshops teaching art, demonstrations at events and taken on small and large murals .. We have painted murals in Colombia , and a few cities in the US. In Brooklyn NY, Bethelhem, PA , Allentown PA as well as Greenville SC. We have partnered with local community organizations like Hala and Champion Center out of the Lehigh Valley. Born in NY and raised in Queens during the 80’s and 90’s my goal is to support , teach and mentor and encourage our youth to create, love and share openly learned skills. As a Pratt graduate and 18 years of management I teach and approach every job as an opportunity to learn. All members regardless of age are given a place at the table from the begin to the end of the project. The outcome results in a collaboration between different perspectives and approach due to generational perspectives. My job is more like that of a conductor to an orchestra, helping others present their vision."
