Learn about the histories, contributions, and lived experiences of those around us, as we uplift voices and explore stories that serve as mirrors of our lives and windows into different experiences.

Join artist and educator Vaquero Azul for an engaging presentation exploring a range of Mesoamerican Indigenous instruments from Mexico and their cultural significance. Participants will learn about the history, materials, and roles these instruments played in ceremony, storytelling, and community life. The session concludes with a live demonstration of three traditional instruments—the Huehuetl, Teponaztli, and clay flute—offering a rare opportunity to hear their distinct sounds and better understand their meaning. This presentation blends cultural education with live performance, creating a rich and memorable learning experience.
