Walk Gently Upon This Earth: A Conversation on Sacred Origins with the Esparza Family invites visitors into an intimate gallery walkthrough and dialogue centered on two powerful altars in Ofelia Esparza: A Retrospective. Led by the artist and members of her family, this program offers insight into Esparza’s spiritual, cultural, and political foundations, and the ancestral knowledge that has guided her work for more than seven decades.

The conversation will focus on Defenders of Mother Earth, an altar honoring environmental and human rights activists who gave their lives protecting land, water, and life itself, and Raíces Cósmicas, a cosmic altar celebrating creation, Indigenous cosmologies, and humanity’s sacred relationship to the natural world.
Community members are warmly invited to gather, reflect, and engage in dialogue on ancestral knowledge, care for the earth, and collective responsibility.

All are welcome. RSVP encouraged.
