UWM senior Jovanny Hernandez is being featured in a new mini-documentary exploring artists’ origins that debuts Wednesday, April 12.

Hernandez, a photography major, creative artist and photojournalist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, explores his identity and cultural heritage from the south side of Milwaukee and his family’s native lands in Oaxaca, Mexico. His work focuses on social justice issues through sharing stories and encouraging dialogue.
The “Creating Milwaukee” documentary series is being presented by the American Family Insurance Institute.
