This is raw footage for ¡Colores! #1930, #2117 featuring an interview with Ramón José López about the significance of his family and community history. He wants to remember his ancestors and the people that lived throughout the Southwest. It is important because of the friendships that the different cultures such as the Spanish and the Native Americans, developed when they intermarried. He believes it is important to keep history alive because it is important to know where you came from. His inspiration as an artist comes from his early childhood. He has always been able to envision something and then make it. He relates a spiritual experience that he had when he was working on a piece of art for an altar.
