Stories Project: Marissa Gutiérrez-Vicario
“We talk about human rights abuses in the world bu there are human rights abuses in our own backyard.”
Marissa Gutiérrez-Vicario has worked alongside several non-profit organization before creating her own, Art and Resistance Through Education (ARTE). She uses art as a tool to bring awareness to communities and young people about local and global human rights challenges. ARTE works to empower youth to become social justice agents and to work towards creating a more equitable world for themselves and their own communities.
