This project is made possible in part by the City of Chula Vista’s Performing and Visual Arts Grant, with additional support from the Chula Vista Public Library, and the City of Chula Vista.

In early 2026, we hosted flag making and poetry writing workshops, partnering with San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, South Bay Youth Center and …. On June 20th from 1:30 - 3:30PM we will host a community event free for all to attend a temporary installation of the flags at Memorial Park Amphitheater. This inclusive event is a gathering which celebrates community, art and offers an open-mic. opportunity to those attending. There you will be able to see flags and hear poetry made during the preceeding workshops.

Stay tuned and return to this page to see documentation of both the workshops and the live event. This documentation is also available in book format on view at the Chula Vista Public Library starting August 2026.
