The short documentary follows three Tejana artists that will inspire viewers with their art and personal anecdotes on surviving emotionally in this world. At the screening, you’ll see the first one of three vignettes that will ultimately make up the film.

There will be food and drinks provided! Following the film, there will be a short conversation, where feedback and questions are encouraged!
