The piece is made of eight-foot-high metal panels that reach 160 feet and are decorated by CALACA and other artists from the West campus and surrounding community. Filmmaker Rivera, who over the past 10 years has addressed concerns of the Latino community through his work in digital video and the Internet, is a significant addition to this year’s event.
