"Sacred Stories" brings together artists Uziel Gonzalez and Sarah Windisch in a shared exploration of identity, heritage, and the humanity woven through cultural expression.
Through woodblock and screenprint portraits, Gonzalez amplifies the voices of Spokane’s Latino community stories of migration, sacrifice, and enduring pride. His work reveals the individuals behind these narratives, inviting viewers to see their strength and dignity.
Windisch’s mixed media series, inspired by Mexican folk art and the symbolism of sacred hearts, transforms everyday imagery into icons of faith, love, and resilience.
