A recap of our first Artwalk of the year🥳!! Our first 2025 Artwalk features a look into a collaborative project by @rogereyesr and Sarah Rafael Garcia (@cuentosmobile ) called Mapping Santa Ana. Mapping Santa Ana is more than just digital map; it’s a real-time showcase of the city’s rich history, highlighting various locations, murals, and neighborhoods, from Logan Barrio to Bristol Swapmeet. Additionally we also designed the downtown map into a pocket-size folded zone that locals and guest can still pick up at Crear studio and Libromobile during open hours to access the digital map through a QR code. Feel free to reach out on our email to give your insight and feedback for future locations into Mapping Santa Ana and huge thank you to everyone who came by to support and take a look around our studio and digital lab. ❤️ #mappingsantaana #rogereyesr #sarahrafaelgarcia #bipocartspaces #digitalhumanities #crearstudio
