Órale Boyle Heights Ep 59: Christopher Cruz

My guest this episode is Christopher Cruz. I sat down with Chris to talk about their work in documenting their grandfather's, Manuel Gomez Cruz' contributions to the culture back in the day with their murals and activism. We also talked about Chris' own journey growing up on the Eastside, becoming politicized, and how their passion for photography continues to evolve with various projects. You can follow Chris on Instagram at @EastLosHeart and you can read the essay the wrote about their grandfather here.
