As a muralist, Silvia Lopez Chavez’s artistic process is fueled by understanding a site's context and its relationship to how the public engages with that space. She strives for her work to be approachable and easily understood. Content is often determined through a collective, neighborhood-based co-designing and re-envisioning space, which she considers part of her social practice.
"Undoubtedly, journalism and art is a powerful collaboration. Art can provide depth, color and texture to personalize and illustrate sentiments that may be hard to express with words or statistics alone. Learning from the stories reported in Ian Urbina’s book and podcast, about the atrocities committed against human rights on waters between continents, breaks my heart. I have a new perspective on a world at sea of which I was unaware, and it makes me question so much regarding the laws (or lack thereof) we create on land, which profoundly affect so many lives."
