  • Riassunto

  • In this episode of Lattes & Art, host James William Moore sits down with John Joseph Contreras Romero, a sculptor and educator whose art explores the intersections of violence, trauma, and healing. With a BA in Art and a Minor in Education from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and an MFA in Spatial Arts from San José State University, John brings a nuanced perspective shaped by his experiences as a veteran of the Afghanistan war, a first-generation college graduate, and the son of immigrants. Through creative investigations in trauma, memory, and loss, John discusses how art has become a tool for healing—both for himself and his audience. Join us as we explore the ways art can foster resilience, process difficult emotions, and spark conversations around critical social issues.
