Angelica Muro (1977) is an multimedia visual artist, curator, and art educator.
Muro was born and raised in the Central Valley agricultural community of Hopeton, California. [1] [2] She holds a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree from Mills College and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Photography from San Jose State University. Currently, Muro is the Chair of the Department of Visual and Public Art and Assistant Professor of Integrated Media and Photography in the Department of Visual and Public Art at California State University, Monterey Bay.
Muro situates her artwork within a complex dialogue about contemporary political, social, and cultural issues. Muro herself focus on the complexities of the ecosystem–the spectrum of productivity, exploitation, and the distribution of wealth–and relates to issues of gender, race, and class. [3]
Packing Heat is a multi-media installation inspired by female representations in Mexican Cinema, consisting of photographs, drawings, and sculptural elements that reference the female action heroine as femme fatale - openly playing into the "new math" of post-feminism (hotness=self-empowerment). These images evoke cinematic expressions and allegories that imply a culture of fear while paradoxically. indulging romantic notions of gender empowerment, violence, and equalization. [6]
A Guide for Agricultural Workers Series [6] using drawings and photographs, Angelica Muro examines agribusiness exploitation of farm workers through unsafe pesticide handling policies and practices. As a tool of discourse, this work utilizes a pamphlet provided by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to farm workers to advise them on pesticides. Written in Spanish, the pamphlet uses cartoon characters that appeal to common stereotypes and overly simplistic language to patronize farm workers who ironically have a deep understanding of the tragic effects of pesticide debris on their communities. Her reproductions of these drawings place the illustrations in a different context, forcing the viewer to contemplate the pamphlet designer's demeaning and unbridled choice of images and text. [6]
Untitied (Club Lido) [6] collaborators Angelica Muro and Juan Luna-Avin depict the downtown San Jose subcultures at Lido Night Club. While San Jose has large Vietnamese and Mexican populations, these two groups rarely interact. At Lido Night Club, however, Vietnamese performers entertain weekend crowds upstairs, while club-goers dance to Mexican banda music downstairs. The club has also become the epicenter of a growing Latin transgender community in San Jose. In their drawings and installation, Muro & Lu-na-Avin explore and celebrate the unexpected subcultures present in San Jose. [6]
Salinas is a city in the U.S. state of California and the county seat of Monterey County. With a population of 163,542 in the 2020 Census, Salinas is the most populous city in Monterey County. Salinas is an urban area located along the eastern limits of the Monterey Bay Area, lying just south of the San Francisco Bay Area and 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the mouth of the Salinas River. The city is located at the mouth of the Salinas Valley, about eight miles (13 km) from the Pacific Ocean, and it has a climate more influenced by the ocean than the interior.
The Santa Clara Valley is a geologic trough in Northern California that extends 90 miles (140 km) south–southeast from San Francisco to Hollister. The longitudinal valley is bordered on the west by the Santa Cruz Mountains and on the east by the Diablo Range; the two coastal ranges meet south of Hollister. The San Francisco Bay borders the valley to the north, and fills much of the northern third of the valley. The valley floor is an alluvial plain that formed in the graben between the San Andreas Fault to the west and the Hayward and Calaveras faults to the east. Within the valley and surrounding the bay on three sides are the urban communities of San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, and Alameda County, while the narrow southern reaches of the valley extend into rural San Benito County to Hollister. In practical terms, the central portion of the Santa Clara Valley is often considered by itself, contained entirely within Santa Clara County.
The United Farm Workers of America, or more commonly just United Farm Workers (UFW), is a labor union for farmworkers in the United States. It originated from the merger of two workers' rights organizations, the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) led by organizer Larry Itliong, and the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta. They became allied and transformed from workers' rights organizations into a union as a result of a series of strikes in 1965, when the mostly Filipino farmworkers of the AWOC in Delano, California, initiated a grape strike, and the NFWA went on strike in support. As a result of the commonality in goals and methods, the NFWA and the AWOC formed the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee on August 22, 1966. This organization was accepted into the AFL–CIO in 1972 and changed its name to the United Farm Workers Union.

A farmworker, farmhand or agricultural worker is someone employed for labor in agriculture.

The light brown apple moth is a leafroller moth belonging to the lepidopteran family Tortricidae. The moth was confirmed to be present in mainland United States in 2007, principally along the West Coast. The State of California and the US Department of Agriculture quickly imposed agricultural quarantine measures and decided to use aerial spraying to try to eradicate the moth. This led to substantial public controversy and claims of adverse health effects. Aerial spraying was discontinued in 2008. Trapping, monitoring, and inspection efforts were reduced or eliminated in 2012 due to budget problems.

José Hernández Delgadillo was a Mexican painter and muralist best known for carrying on the traditions of Mexican muralism in the latter 20th century. He created over 160 murals in Mexico and the United States, with most of his work, especially after 1970, containing strong political messages. Many of these messages have been unpopular in Mexico, which has made the artist somewhat obscure and some of his murals have been destroyed. Hernández Delgadillo's main recognition is membership in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana honor society, but his home state has made effort to rescue and promote his life and work.
