The advertisements promote a new exhibition at @exploratorium.

ALT Poster in Chochenyo for Exploratorium's ¡Plantásticas! exhibition. Over the past three years, Medina and Trevino, along with Los Angeles artist Andi Xoch and Maya elder and plant enthusiast Doña Maria Ávila Vera, have worked with the Exploratorium to develop the museum’s groundbreaking ¡Plantásticas! exhibition. The exhibition, which was co-directed by the Exploratorium’s Kevin Boyd and Sarah Seiter, examines the variety of ways plants shape our culture and planet, from food and science to art and gardening.

We now have the first-in-the-world Halkin Elementary School, named for the Indigenous Ohlone/Mewuk identity of San Leandro!
We’re proud to have been part of this collective, 2-year process to see Wilson Elementary School in San Leandro have its name officially changed this week.
At the May 10th SLUSD school board meeting, trustees voted to approve the renaming of Wilson Elementary School to Halkin Elementary after a two-year community engagement process. Read the press release here: conta.cc/37EWd8i
The naming of Halkin Elementary is worthy of celebration, as we work to see greater visibility for our Ohlone/Mewuk people native to this specific part of the East Bay.
