Nuestra Loteria 2023: Mr. Udlock's Class from Santa Maria High School

In collaboration with Santa Maria Joint Union High School District, Corazón del Pueblo worked with Ethnic & Gender Studies (EGS) teachers to develop and implement a rigorous art project involving students from Santa Maria, Pioneer Valley and Ernest Righetti High Schools.





EGS teachers Elizabeth Cortez, Roxanna Maldonado, and Patricia Villalobos worked with local artist Ruben Espinoza to lead students through a critical examination and reconstruction of the traditional game of Loteria. Students collectively created a new and uniquely youth-centered version of the Loteria game anchored on the notions of social justice, empowerment, and resistance.





Thank you to the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission, Santa Barbara Bowl, and Santa Maria Joint Union High School District for supporting this project.
