Film Screening & Discussion: Artist of Resistance

Join us for a film screening and discussion of "Artist of Resistance," an inspiring documentary about Claudia Bernardi, a Berkeley-based Argentinian artist. This extraordinary story follows her journey into the jungle of El Salvador, where she confronts the aftermath of a massacre and meets Rufina Amaya Marquez, the sole survivor of the tragedy. The film highlights the power of art in promoting justice and healing amid cultural repression.

A former student of Bernardi, who ignited their passion for the intersection of art and social justice, will host a discussion on July 19th via Zoom, exploring the film's themes and their relevance to today’s challenges. Participants will also engage in Reiki-based embodiment practices and thoughtful discussions. We encourage contributions to support Claudia's ongoing mission through Walls of Hope or by purchasing her new book, "Art Against Brutality." Join us to reflect on the courageous spirit depicted in the film and discover how we can inspire positive change in these difficult times.
