Uvalde artist Abel Ortiz says the community quickly accepted him when he arrived in Coyote Country 17 years ago. He hopes that his 21-mural project to honor to the 21 lives taken at Robb Elementary will allow Uvalde to heal.
PUBLISHED 6:27 PM CDT Jun. 21, 2022SAN ANTONIO — Uvalde artist Abel Ortiz says the community quickly accepted him when he arrived in Coyote Country 17 years ago.
“How do I respond to these things going on in my culture, along the border with my own experience being an immigrant,” Ortiz says. “From failing the first grade to assimilating to the dominant culture and starting to feel like I belong.” “My own student lost her daughter and so we are all connected in that sense. Once the media goes, the pain remains. We have to have those healing possibilities whether it’s the murals or mental health professionals coming in,” Ortiz says. “All that needs to be an ongoing process.”
