Long after senior Anjali Morua graduates from Houston ISD’s High School for Law and Justice, her artwork will live on as part of a mile-and-a-half stretch of vibrant murals in Houston’s East End.
Morua and nine other high schoolers primarily from the East Houston neighborhood worked with San Antonio artist Alex Rubio over their spring break to create “Memoria/Memory,” a mural dedicated to fellow artist Vincent Valdez’s mother. The project was made in collaboration with Valdez, who worked under Rubio at age 10 before his nearly 40-year career was celebrated in the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s “Vincent Valdez… Just a Dream” exhibition through March.
