Multi-color poster on white paper shows a photograph aligned at top right of a woman with curled black hair wearing a black outfit with prominent jewelry. The woman stands behind a dressing table with a large mirror that reflects a sculpture with figural elements. A chair decorated with shells and other organic shapes appears in the foreground at left slightly out of focus. "Amalia Mesa Bains / Installation Artist / Chicana" is printed below the left corner of the photograph. A quote appears at center left opposite the image that reads, "Artists stand as both guardians and witnesses to history in an age of global chaos." "Women of Hope / Latinas Abriendo Camino" is printed at top left. Text along the bottom of the page notes the photographer is Idaljiza Liz-Lepiorz, and lists major funders and supporting organizations.
