NFMLA Film Festival: Art Galleries and Black Alleys Trailer

This film chronicles the artistic process as two Chicano visual artists representing two different generations of an art movement collaborate in the transformation of a hybrid vehicle into a piece of art. The project was sponsored and housed at Self-Help Graphics, an East Los Angeles community-based artists' cooperative with a 40 year history of fostering, training and housing visual artists from multiple disciplines while mentoring youth from the community. The humor and natural chemistry between aerosol artist Vyal Reyes and installation artist Patssi Valdez make for an enjoyable visit while watching their process unfold.
