Description
Located within the Burnham Wildlife Corridor, this project is a circular sculpture inspired by the magic symbolism of the butterfly, harmony with nature, and migration. It will be demarcated by a delicate sculptural ring or “ronda” (in Spanish) of interlocking butterfly forms. The center of the space will feature native plants and cement blocks that are being repurposed as rustic seating.
Located in the Pilsen community, Casa Michoacan is an educational nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of cultural, social, sporting activities and between the Mexican and immigrant Michoacán community with a transnational vision.
