César has led art workshops in the Philadelphia area since 2000, and he has assisted or led collaborative undertakings to make monumental works. His public work has been inspired by the communities he has served throughout the years and to whom he has become an extended voice.
The Iglesias Gardens aim to preserve a space for the people. Through providing multigenerational activities for our community, creating harmony and balance with local ecosystems, and growing edible fruits and vegetables and plant medicine, we pay tribute to stolen land and develop a network of support for our future generations. The work of Iglesias Gardens builds and defends resilient communities.
Upcoming Events/Projects
Recently, I reshaped a mound located in an adjacent lot, near the Iglesias garden where I have been creating public art for almost 12 years. This work is in progress and involves community.
