Every summer the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) presents Murals Under the Stars, one of the most exciting outdoor artistic experiences in Southern California. Gregorio Luke, an expert on Mexican and Latin American art and culture, will bring this spectacular outdoor event to USC with a presentation showcasing the works of Diego Rivera, considered the greatest Mexican painter of the twentieth century. Using the most advanced projection technology, the murals are projected life-size onto an outdoor wall, giving viewers the sensation of experiencing the original murals in person. This extraordinary event will begin with performances by the Afro Latin American Jazz Ensemble and the USC Ballroom and Latin Dance Team, followed by a dynamic talk by Luke, who is the former director of the MOLAA, the former consul of cultural affairs of Mexico in Los Angeles and the first secretary of the embassy of Mexico in Washington, D.C.

Organized by the Ronald Tutor Campus Center and the USC Fisher Museum of Art.
