As a third-generation piñata-maker, designer, and owner of LA Piñata Design Studio, Yesenia Prieto will talk about the complexities of being a business owner in the trade of piñatas.
Yesenia began piñata-making in South Los Angeles as a small-time trade and quickly harnessed her artistic skill and entrepreneurial spirit to manage larger-than-life installation projects for well-known companies and museums throughout the world.
This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit www.calhum.org.
