A new art exhibit by a group of San Antonio sixth graders features portraits of people directly affected by gun violence.
“There’s actual people in this neighborhood and not just guns,” said Jazmine West, one of artists who call themselves The Light Catchers.“Like a wholesome moment that’s, ‘like, right there.’ And if you catch it and then you catch it. And if you don’t, then you won’t see it again,” she said.
The art exhibit features portraits of people directly affected by gun violence along with QR codes to interviews the students conducted of their neighbors. “I would just hear gunshots and we would just brush it off like it was a normal thing. Got to show people that it’s not normal. That’s what we’re trying to tell the mayor, trying to make a change in this neighborhood,” Contreras said.
