The Legacy of Gwen Araujo: A Conversation with Sylvia Guerrero
@ National Museum of Mexican Art
1852 W 19th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, March 4th, from 3PM - 5PM
An advocate for transgender rights, Sylvia Guerrero joins us to talk about the life and legacy of her daughter Gwen Araujo. Gwen Amber Rose Araujo was from the Newark, California area and lived her life authentically as a beautiful transgender Mexican American young woman who began transitioning as a teenager, ready to embrace her true self. Her death gained international media attention and helped bring visibility to transgender hate crimes. She is remembered for her love of Gwen Stefani hence the name she chose when she began her transition.
