Juana Duran Charicata, 2015 Art Education - a podcast by John Pollitz

Juana and her family immigrated from Cheran, Michoaca, Mexico in 1995. They settled in Cobden, IL where they found work in the many apple orchards. They also found a growing community made up of other immigrants from Michoacan. Juana faced many obstacles as she pursued her education but she also found mentors at SIU to encourage pursuit. She is a talented artist who recently had her paintings on exhibition in Morris Library.
