For more than 25 years, San Antonio artist Cruz Ortiz has been seeking and finding creative new ways to get art to the people. His work has appeared on screen prints, videos, paintings, murals, campaign t-shirts and posters, push-carts and pizza boxes. And it's also found its way to the Louvre. Ortiz's creations are informed by a punk-rock, do-it yourself ethic; an irreverent, pop-art sensibility; and a fierce political activism. On this episode, he talks about his early inspirations, how he sees his role as an artist, and the moving experience he had last year in Uvalde.
